Over the last seven years, FoodForward SA has been the beneficiary of Food Lover’s Market’s annual Hunger Month campaign. The campaign runs from 1 – 31 May 2023 and has become a popular way for South Africans to contribute to our efforts to address food insecurity.
This year, Food Lover’s Market approached key partners – such as one of our key legacy partners; Tru-Cape – to contribute financially at the onset of the campaign. In addition to this, shoppers have the opportunity to voluntarily buy a meal for a fellow South African at a Food Lover’s Market till point during the month of May.
During 2022, Food Lover’s Hunger Month raised funds for 2.5 million meals.
“FoodForward SA’s efforts to achieve zero hunger (one of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals) depends on, especially, partnerships with food supply chain role players like Food Lover’s Market. We are extremely grateful for their contribution and efforts to engage South Africans during Hunger Month,” says FoodForward SA Fund Development Manager, Deidre Adams.
