KARACHI – One of the leaders in the spice industry, Shan Foods has come forward to help fight hunger during the coronavirus crisis.

As the pandemic began to grip the country, Shan Foods, stepped up its efforts and began diverting all its resources towards providing support to daily wage workers.

The coronavirus pandemic has caught us all off guard, leaving a significant number of daily wage workers in dire situations. We are pleased to announce our partnership with UNAP, JDC, HUM Television Network, Orange Tree Foundation, and independent philanthropists, who are working to collect rations by identifying the right people to whom these resources need to be distributed.”

Sheikh Adil Hussain, General Manager Marketing, Shan Foods, added: “As soon as we became aware of the problems that would arise due to the lockdown, it was a no brainer for us, as a company and as a brand, to divert our efforts to helping those in need. A companywide decision was taken to reallocate our resources, on a national and international level, to immediately begin working on finding organizations to partner up with. We have not only found local organizations to join hands with but as a global brand we have also identified multiple food banks in North America and the Middle East through whom we’re providing support at an international level.”
