PHUKET: People, businesses and communities across Phuket have stepped up to provide food for people in need as many find themselves suffering

 

Blue Tree Phuket have been providing 150 meals a day since they began their campaign on Apr 4. The meals were initially all delivered to Patong, where they were handed over to Patong Municipality to hand out through their public campaign, then the Blue Tree campaign shifted focus to wherever is needed most. On Wednesday, the team packed and delivered 150 lunch boxes to Bangkok Phuket Hospital and Thalang Hospital.

 

“The recent notice issued by the Healthy Ministry to Phuket officials is urging Patong residents to stay home and not venture out of doors, this impacts the daily lives of local residents who need to go out to get supplies of essential daily needs and food items. Blue Tree’s support program will help ease this situation and in turn may potentially reduce the risk of people coming into contact with and or spreading the virus.
