Ladles of Love We provide nutrition to small children in need to support their growth and preschool education ❤️

In five short years, Ladles of Love has gone from feeding 70 meals at our very first soup kitchen, to providing 300,000 meals every single week. We started with one small soup kitchen serving soup to the homeless once a week on St. Georges Mall, and we’ve grown to our serving thousands from our HQ kitchen at The Hope Exchange in Roeland Street. Then the Corona Virus pandemic hit, escalating the number of starving people in need across the city. We had an idea - how can we connect those in need with those who have the capacity to help? Our suburban sandwich drive was born: a city-wide initiative mobilising people to give back from the safety of their own homes. In a matter of weeks, the Sandwich Drive had rallied families across the Cape to make sandwiches in their homes and over 250,000 sarmies were re-routed into our new, ever-expanding NPO network of beneficiaries. We also increased our output of soup to 6 tons of food weekly which is sent to various shelters, homeless organisations and other community organisations to feed those in need.

A hungry child can still sit in a classroom. But are they being given every opportunity to thrive? ❤️

This World Food Day, we're reminded that hunger takes away so much more than a meal. It can take away opportunities to learn, grow and reach one's full potential.

At Ladles of Love, we believe that nourishing a child today is an investment in who they can become tomorrow.

Through our Nourish Our Children programme, we're helping give preschool children the nutritional foundation they need for a brighter future.

For R300 a month, you can help provide two healthy meals a day for one preschool child. ❤️

This World Food Day, join our growing community of monthly donors and help us nourish tomorrow.

This World Food Day, we want to change the way we talk about feeding children.

A meal matters.
But consistent, healthy nutrition can mean so much more.
It can support a child as they concentrate, play, learn, develop and grow.
That is why our Nourish Our Children programme is about more than what reaches the plate.
It is about growing healthy children.

Our goal is to build a community of 1,000 monthly donors helping make that nutrition more consistent.
R300 a month helps provide two healthy meals a day for one preschool child.

A healthy meal today matters.

But what can make an even bigger difference is knowing another one is coming tomorrow.

For a preschool child, consistent nutrition becomes part of the rhythm of the day: arriving, eating, learning, playing and growing.
That consistency is what Nourish Our Children is working to build.

Not a once-off meal. A sustainable nutritional foundation during some of the most important years of a child’s development.

For R300 a month, you can help provide one preschool child with two healthy meals a day.

Make your support something a child can count on.

🌍💚 Today is World Mental Health Day and World Homeless Day. 🧠❤️
Volunteering puts life into perspective and reminds us of what truly matters.
A heartfelt thank you to Ladles of Love for such a beautiful and meaningful day! 🫶✨
Remember, before someone is homeless, they are human. Everyone deserves dignity, compassion, kindness, and respect. 🤝💚
Let’s choose kindness over judgement and remember that every person has a story. ❤️🌻

What if finding peace wasn't about doing more, but learning to let things be? ❤️

Nature doesn't rush. The sun rises, flowers bloom, and seasons change, all in their own time.

Yet we spend so much of our lives pushing, worrying and trying to control what happens next.

In this week's Monday Motivation, Danny shares a beautiful reminder that not everything needs to be forced. Sometimes, the greatest gift we can give ourselves is the freedom to let things unfold.

Take a moment to reflect: Is there something in your life you're holding onto that might be better left to flow naturally?

Watch Danny's latest reflection and share your thoughts with us. ❤️

What if making a difference wasn’t something we saved for a special occasion?

What if it became part of how we lived? ❤️

An hour volunteered.
A meal packed.
A monthly contribution.
A team brought together.
A friend invited along.

None of these actions needs to feel enormous on its own.

But imagine what happens when thousands of people keep choosing them.

That’s Love Activism.

What’s one act of love you want to put into action this week? 👇

The impact doesn’t stop at the preschool gate. ❤️

When a preschool is better equipped to provide nutritious meals, children benefit. But so do the people around them.
Preschool principals gain knowledge.

Cooks gain practical nutrition skills.

Families gain confidence in the place their children spend their days.

And communities gain stronger spaces in which young children can grow.

That’s why Nourish Our Children is about working with communities, not simply delivering into them.
Because sustainable impact grows from within.

What does a strong community mean to you? Tell us below. 👇

A meal lasts a moment. What it can unlock lasts much longer. ❤️
A child joins in.
A child has the energy to play.
A child concentrates for a little longer.
A child grows in confidence.

Through Nourish Our Children, healthy meals become part of the everyday rhythm of preschool life, creating a stronger nutritional foundation during some of the most important years of a child’s development.

Today, 18,500 children, alongside their teachers and preschool teams, are being supported with two healthy meals a day.

For R300 a month, you can help keep that impact going.
