Ladles of Love

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 nu

mber 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.

Wellness in the workplace is about creating an environment where people feel connected, supported and part of something meaningful.

And sometimes, one of the best ways to build that wellbeing is to step outside the office.

Ladles of Love corporate teambuilds give teams the opportunity to connect through purpose, strengthen relationships and experience the feel-good impact of giving back together. 💛

It’s time away from the desk that gives something back - to your people and to the community.

Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is simply give someone the space to be vulnerable.

Not every difficult moment needs advice, fixing or a reminder to “be strong”. Sometimes, people just need to be heard.

But when unhappiness becomes a pattern, kindness can also mean encouraging someone to ask: What am I doing to change what is no longer serving me?

Knowing the difference matters. 💛

There is something beautiful about watching a child with a full tummy get back to the very important business of being little. 💛

Learning new words. Playing with friends. Asking endless questions. Laughing. Growing. Dreaming.

That is the impact of Nourish Our Children.

Healthy daily nutrition creates space for childhood to be about development and discovery rather than hunger. And when that support is there consistently, day after day, its impact can stretch far beyond the preschool years.

You can become part of that consistency. Become a monthly donor.

Never Give Up. 💛

Danny has been invited to become an International Ambassador for the global Never Give Up Day movement, and he’s stepping out for a cause close to his heart: vulnerable little children in our communities.

Join him for a 5km Walk of Perseverance — not a fundraiser or a race, simply like-minded people walking as Love Activists in solidarity.

📅 Saturday, 29 August
⏰ 09:00
📍 Mouille Point Lighthouse

Grab your walking shoes, bring a friend, maybe a furry one too, and come walk with us.

Behind every preschool filled with happy learners is someone who chose to keep showing up. 💛

Our Heroes of Hope Excellence Awards celebrate the remarkable preschool principals who lead with courage, resilience and love in communities where their work can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

These women do far more than run preschools. They nurture. They lead. They feed. They teach. They create places where children can feel safe, seen and encouraged to dream.

This August, help us honour the Heroes of Hope who are building brighter futures from the ground up.

They arrived seeking support. They left as partners. 💛

80 more preschool principals and cooks from some of Cape Town’s most overlooked and gang-affected communities are joining our Nourish Our Children programme.

This is not a handout. It is a partnership built on shared responsibility, nutritious food, practical knowledge and ongoing support - helping children arrive nourished, healthy and ready to learn.

As Martin Zibula, our National Monitoring and Evaluation Manager, says: “You do not simply fund a meal. You help build a child’s readiness to learn, grow and thrive. You help us ensure that no child’s future is limited by hunger or a postal code.”

And as Danny often reminds us, “We’re not in the business of collecting donations, we’re in the business of selling hope.”

Walk alongside us. Invest in hope. 💛

Doing good feels good and doing it together can be even more powerful. 💛

Volunteering gives us an opportunity to step away from the everyday rush, connect with other people and put our energy into something meaningful.

For corporate teams, that shared experience can bring colleagues together in a completely different way. Different departments. Different job titles. One purpose.

It is team building with heart. A chance to strengthen connection, create shared memories and feed the soul while making a real difference in someone else’s life.

Bring your team together for something that matters.
