  2. List the requirements in the four areas – Educare / Sociocare / Nutricare / Medicare
  3. Organise community-centric drives for collections
  4. Inspection and segregation of commodities
  5. Transport the collected-utilities to respective centres
  6. Close the loop with the donors and volunteers
