Through this event, we aim to raise funds for vulnerable families in such hard times. Go Dharmic volunteers will be buying food kits for these families and distributing them. Thousands of people have been unable to work, and many of them have been going hungry due to being out of work due to COVID. We hope to celebrate their talent whilst helping them and other artists who are struggling in this difficult time.
