Restaurant owner Amit Sharma and his wife Chetna Rambani launched the free meal service after witnessing the flow-on effect of panic-buying in the community. “With people storing things at home like toilet paper, I realised that those who do not have enough money for basic needs or have lost their jobs are now struggling,” Mr Sharma said. “When I decided to do something I discussed it with my wife and she suggested to start with some free meals for those who are in need. “Stopping dine in meals gave us more time to prepare the meals and help those in our community.”

To maintain privacy, those in need of a meal are able to call the restaurant to organise a collection time. “We started to help those people who have lost their jobs and are struggling and I understand it can be a bit embarrassing for some to not have money but I do not judge or question why they need the meal,” he said. “I do not ask why or what their need is or what happened, I just give them a hot meal.”
