Shopping list:
Bread (10 loaves)
Margarine (1 tub)
Spoons
Serviettes
Takeaway Containers (200, 500ml)
Plastic Packets (100)
Bottled Water (62)

Told you we were back 😉 We hope you didn’t miss us too much.

We have our first drive for the year coming up on the 22 March and we’d like to reach out to you all to get involved. 🚀

By sponsoring a parcel for only R50, someone gets a meal (or two), some fruit, and whatever we can muster up with the rest 🫰🏾 inflation is real, but we want to make this sustainable however we can.

2 drives left for 2024 and what A YEAR it’s been. Were so grateful for the help and the support this far 🤝🏾

A parcel is roughly R50 pp and gets people a warm meal, sometimes 2, some snacks and fruit. The more we have, the more we make 🚀💃🏾

Get in touch with us if you’d like to lend a helping hand towards our next food drive on 28 September ✨

Drive 3, 2024

People go through so much, especially in this country, and we are happy we can take hunger off the table for at least a day. We will always do what we can with what we have to help our people in need 🚀

Thank you to everyone who offered their helping hands for our last food drive. We fed 57 people 2 meals each ☝🏾

Hello lovely humans!

We hope you didn’t miss us too much. We have our next drive coming up on the 27th of July and we’d like to reach out to you all to get involved.

By sponsoring a parcel for only R50, someone gets a meal (or two), fruit, snacks, and some water. If you don’t have R50 to spare, anything will do. It all adds up in the end because every cent counts!
