Online food delivery marketplace Foodpanda in association with Care India and Sakshi NGO has launched a campaign 'Share your Plate' that is aimed at generating cash and kind for underprivileged children. This month-long campaign has been launched to alleviate the problem of hunger which the deprived section of society has to deal with on a daily basis.

Foodpanda will contribute by driving traffic to their website by promoting the campaign across all its platforms. Saurabh Kochhar, CEO, Foodpanda, said, "Being a food delivery platform, we realize what hardships the underprivileged have to go through to afford one square meal a day. It is our constant endeavour to spread happiness through food and we wish to extend this belief to the needy sections of society as well. We want to send out a message of hope through our humble contribution to the efforts of both Care India and Sakshi NGO who are working in this direction."
