Yogesh Matta, a resident, opined, “We all have some extra food left after parties and get-togethers. That food can easily be utilised to feed the hungry. Moreover, feeding them on auspicious occasions is considered a good deed by many. So, it’s a win-win situation. It was heartening to see people come forward so eagerly.”
