Chefs with Compassion, South Africa's leading culinary initiative dedicated to fighting hunger, proudly announces the launch of its fifth annual #67000litres for Mandela Day campaign.
Chefs with Compassion, a non-profit organisation that represents the collaborative efforts of five founding organisations and over 30 kitchen hubs, has reached a significant milestone. The organisation has announced that they have served their 5 millionth meal to food vulnerable communities in South Africa.
Chefs with Compassion appeals to the public and corporates to help continue its remarkable work. Without additional funding, Chefs with Compassion will no longer be able to continue providing rescued food to over 30 beneficiary organisations.
In the spirit of ubuntu, the DStv Delicious International Food and Music Festival and its partners hope to raise R500 000 to help Chefs with Compassion continue feeding those who have fallen on hard times
Some of us are lucky enough to have a guaranteed plate of food everyday. Yet for millions of people in South Africa, the basic human right of sustainable nourishment is a struggle and hunger is a part of daily life. At Syspro, our social responsibility initiative, UPlift, aims to make a sustainable and meaningful impact in the lives of the underprivileged communities around South Africa.
Over 280 participants in nine provinces and countless cities have proven the power of collective action, successfully smashing the target of #67000litres of soup set by food rescue organisation Chefs with Compassion.
Today is World Hunger Day. Today we think of all those across the globe who will go to bed hungry. Today we think of all those in our country who struggle with food security. Today we think of how we can all help those who are hungry. Contact us if you have ideas of how to help the hungry.
Thank you to Chef Raynor Damons, who was with us at the very beginning as one of our first kitchens, cooking for the people of Westbury.
Feeding people is truly a team effort. Today we received an incredible four tonnes of small white beans from Schoeman Boerdery.
Thank you so much to @compassinsurancecompanylimited, our premier sponsor, for visiting us at our Sharehouse. We are excited to be working with you.
There is so much more to food rescue than meets the eye. Thanks to Daily Maverick for the insights into this world, as told through our rescue partner, Nosh Food Rescue NPC. Huge thanks to our waste warrior Hanneke van Linge for the work done by Nosh on the front lines of the battle against #foodwaste.
