One of the valiant efforts that have been prominent has been that of EOFO (Each One Feed One), a collective based out of Delhi NCR that has been serving people on the road with cooked food and dry supplies. EOFO has joined hands with multiple restaurants and has been distributing cooked food packets to the vulnerable families of Rag Pickers, Sex Workers and Dalits in the South East Delhi area of Okhla, Jasola and Sharam Vihar. With the nation under lockdown and shutting down every economical activity within 3-4 hours of PM's speech, EOFO has been able to provide for more than 75,000 cooked meals and dry rations to 5,500  families. 

On the advocacy part team has launched a helpline number so that people can avail government services. A month ago Delhi Govt launched the online food e-coupons, which allowed migrants on the road to obtain supplies from the state but there were accessibility concerns much of these people struggled in filling and submitting these forms online, there is where EOFO stepped on the roads to help people solve these logistics concerns. Migrants have been suffering alot team decided to support them by helping them to reach their homes safely. In few months of lockdown the change in people lifes and how it is going to effect can be seen after few months. 

Other than this distribution of Sanitary Napkins and Hygiene kits to people, Travel kit to migrants and Financial assitance for medical emergency was provided by the team.
