The Sikh community of Sydney has spent over $4,000 Australian dollars on a food donation program for elderly folks stuck in self-isolation.

The group—“Turbans of Australia”—have so far donated more than 1.5 tons of food. The food will be delivered to residents, who are unable to purchase basic non-perishable foods.
