On the onset of the lockdown, almost all police personnel were on round-the-clock duty ensuring people were kept indoors and safe. Bennet and Bernard decided to do their bit for these front-line workers helping us and thus raised canopy tents to provide shade and shelter to that personnel on lockdown duty at various check posts around Goa. We provided canopies for shade and refreshments were organised for them while on duty.
The Bennet and Bernard’s Bakery team worked tirelessly during those difficult times and made bread for distribution to the needy and less fortunate on the streets around the state.
At a time when stringent measures of lockdown were in place and people were asked to stay indoors, food rations were of the essence. At these difficult times, Bennet and Bernard sought authorisation and organised to mobilise home deliveries of Artisan Deli cold cuts to various homes at different locations in Goa.
Food rations were scarce for the people of Goa during the period of lockdown and at these times the stray animals were as well severely impacted. They were however not forgotten by the team at Bennet and Bernard. Our Group undertook the task of providing for people and feeding the stray animals across various areas in the state.
The organisation has always looked at innovative ways to support and raise funds for various causes. When Covid lockdowns were enforced, we pioneered digital music concerts for the charitable cause of raising funds for feeding dogs. We innovatively turned to technology, airing this at an old age home, adding the much-needed joy and companionship in the grim covid times.
We support causes that achieve long term benefit educating children living in underprivileged families, supporting other NGOs working with distressed men and women enabling them opportunities to be independent, a lot of street animal welfare activities investing heavily in sterilization for Indie dogs and cats, amongst others.
