Since lockdown began, we have significantly expanded our reach. From just a handful of beneficiaries we supported just a few short months ago, we now work with 110 beneficiaries directly. These organisations, in turn, assist a further 260 secondary beneficiaries with food.
This equates to over 50 tonnes of food a week going out through our doors, costing millions of Rand every month.
Due to the overwhelming number of applications we’ve had from NPOs & other organisations, we can no longer (currently) process any new requests for assistance of food. We do not have the capacity to assist individuals or individual families either, as all our food is distributed through our vetted beneficiaries and partners that we work with consistently.
As this pandemic continues, the situation becomes even more challenging. We’re working harder to bring in donations so we can keep supporting our current beneficiaries. We’re determined to raise more funds to expand further, as we have a current waiting list of around 100 NPOs who need help. As soon as we are able, we will begin the vetting and onboarding process.
