Not all houses are homes.
.
As we continue to observe the necessary safety precautions around the COVID-19 pandemic, reports show an alarming increase in violence against women and children during this time. The lack of access to food can exacerbate the vicious cycle of abuse.
.
With your support, @FoodForwardSA’s beneficiary organisations that focus on supporting women and children to rebuild their lives and livelihoods can continue to help break the cycle of abuse.
.
By donating R255, you will feed one person, one nutritious meal per day, for an entire year.

Nutritious food is one of the building blocks of human development and community upliftment.
.
In 2009, when we launched @FoodForwardSA to help vulnerable South Africans, @foodloversmarket was one of the first supply chain role players to partner with us. Their regular fresh produce donations towards our Second Harvest Programme as well as donations of procured quality fresh produce ensures that we provide our beneficiary organisations with food of which the nutritious content exceeds 80%.
.
This financial year, to date, Food Lover’s Market has donated 85,409 kg of fruit and vegetables to FoodForward SA!

Our realities can be so different.
.
For many people, visiting a rural and secluded area offers them a break from their everyday routine.
.
For many of the people who live in rural areas, there is little opportunity to move to areas where there are better job opportunities and access to nutritious food.
.
To help uplift our most vulnerable communities, @FoodForwardSA started implementing its Mobile Rural Depot (MRD) programme in June 2019. Our trucks deliver food to a central point where our beneficiary organisations (BOs) in the area can collect their monthly food provisions. This helps many of our BOs save on transport costs.
.
With your help, two of the latest additions to our MRD programme have been making great progress. Through their combined network of 15 BOs, our MRD in Klerksdorp now serves 3,958 vulnerable South Africans and our MRD in Mahikeng benefits 2,705 beneficiaries.

We just love big food donations!
.
The bigger the donation, the bigger the impact we can have on vulnerable communities across South Africa. And it gives our team a good challenge too.

@Nestlé donated a whopping 70 pallets (20 440 kg) of @maggisouthafrica Noodles to @FoodForwardSA. Because of the magnitude of this donation, we had to quickly facilitate inter-branch transfers from our Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and Durban branches to help feed an increasing number of South Africans suffering from hunger.
.
Thank you, Nestlé, for the donation! The children, especially, who visit our beneficiary organisations are going to be so happy to see Maggi noodles on their plates.
