The Story So Far
Ladles of Love provides bulk fresh produce, home-made sandwiches and essential groceries to hundreds of charity organisations in South Africa who, together represent over 100 000 people. From 1 April 2020 we have provided food for 7.5 million meals and the number grows daily thanks to the support of our donors.
No new NPO applications
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.
STEPPING INTO SUSTAINABLE FOOD SOLUTIONS
We have awarded over 20 Community Caterers grants in equipment and training to sustain their operations and upscale their ability to feed thousands of people daily. Our new programme will award Social Entrepreneurs who grow, produce or cook food awards enabling them to assist in providing food security and earn to provide for their family.
Social investment in the food sector is critical to solving both poverty and hunger issues in South Africa and across the African continent.
