FREE FOOD FOR THE POOR
Because of the lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, Chiang Mai city is experiencing an economic downturn. The tourism reliant local economy has lost a revenue of around 100 billion baht (~US$3.1 billion) last year. According to estimates, more than 100,000 people have become unemployed and left without a safety net. Since COVID-19 arrived in Thailand in March 2020, CMIRC has donated over 1,000,000 baht (US$30,144) to fund several food donation programs.
