In association with the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation, a group of NGOs is organising “CityNeeds Daan Utsav” from October 2 to 8, said MC’s Zonal Commissioner Jasdev Singh Sekhon here on Thursday.
In association with the MC, CityNeeds, which is supported by different NGOs Primarily Act Humane , has set up over 30 dropping centres in Ludhiana where people can donate items (used or new) such as clothes, woollens, beddings, books, toys, utensils, appliances, medicines, dry waste, etc. All material will be picked up and taken to the Indoor Stadium Pakhowal Road where it will be segregated and given to local NGOs as per their requirement. The NGOs concerned would further distribute these items among the needy people.
To find out your nearest dropping centre, one has to give a missed call at 8289066979. CityNeeds has built an online platform for local NGOs to connect with nearest donors and volunteers.
Daan Utsav, earlier known as Joy of Giving, is a national festival where people, communities, institutions and industry come forward and share what they have with needy.
