In addition to this fund generation, most of the RWAs participated in COVID-19 relief activities, by way of providing groceries and safety materials like masks, gloves, sanitisers to the victims affected by the lockdown. Rice, pulses and food were also provided at many of the centres opened by the RWAs on National Highways and at important clusters in the city.

In some colonies, Covid-19 warriors, including doctors, sanitary staff, security and paramedical personnel were honoured by the RWAs for safeguarding the public through their selfless work even in most critical times.
