Despite the uncertainty and stress of the COVID-19 crisis, many volunteers financially supported by One Housing Group and persistently led by Island Network and Rakesh Patel steeped up to create positive change in the community through ensuring the most vulnerable community members have food during the pandemic and lockdowns.
The collective dedication has once again demonstrated the power of volunteering. The good citizens of the Isle of Dogs are inspired by the leadership and the resilience of the volunteers who refused to let this crisis break their spirit. Instead, they volunteered and distributed over 2000 bags of different food and took care of the most vulnerable members of their community. The chair of Island Network, Maium Miah Talukdar, said that he is proud of the community’s response which is a bright spot amid the current pandemic.
