The Salesians, faculty and students at Don Bosco College Angadikadavu are bracing the Covid-19 crisis, amidst lockdown and physical distancing, to reach out to the needy with food kits. Each provision kit worth Rs. 1000/- contains rice, wheat flour, pulses, oil, vegetables and other edibles for a 07 days. About 20 deserving families have been helped thus far in the vicinity of the College campus that currently functions as a quarantine care centre under the District Administration of Kannur.

BREADS (Bangalore Rural Educational and Development Society) which has initiated a Covid-19 Action-Response Plan to reach out to meet the pressing needs of the daily wage labourers and migrant workers affected by the lockdown, is spearheading this humanitarian saga. Previously, during the floods in Kerala and in parts of Karnataka in 2018-19, too BREADS had coordinated relief work on a massive scale. This Covid-19 response outreach by Don Bosco College Angadikadavu in its mission to the poor by making aailable provision kits, is also supported by BREADS.
