With an estimated 30 million South Africans requiring food in the midst of the Coronavirus crisis, the scale of the challenge is daunting. As a direct result of its partnership with The Solidarity Fund, FoodForward SA has successfully delivered 86 500 food parcels to vulnerable households experiencing severe food insecurity across South Africa in the last ten days, under very challenging conditions. In the coming weeks, FoodForward SA will prepare between 150,000 to 250,000 food parcels, reaching over 1 million vulnerable people. Each food parcel, consisting of a variety of non-perishable groceries and fresh produce, provides a family with food essentials for three to four weeks (depending on household size).
