During the COVID-19 pandemic, Holy Cross Social Service Society responded promptly to support vulnerable families whose livelihoods were severely affected by lockdowns and movement restrictions. The organization distributed dry ration kits containing essential food items to economically disadvantaged households, ensuring that families had access to necessities during the crisis. In addition, awareness programs on COVID-19 prevention, personal hygiene, and safety measures were conducted to help communities protect themselves and reduce the spread of the virus.
