Today, on World Day for Audiovisual Heritage, we want to put @SterKinekor on our big screen.
.
Not only do their Vision Mission initiative, through the assistance of the @health_za and the @dbe_za, give underprivileged youth ophthalmic support, but they also look after their staff during difficult times.
.
From July to September, Ster-Kinekor donated funds for and asked @FoodForwardSA to distribute 1800 food parcels to help their staff meet their families most basic needs. These parcels included, among others, ingredients like sugar, maze meal, peanut butter and rice.
.
We salute your efforts, Ster-Kinekor. Like audio-visual materials, you provide a window to the world.

Pasta and meatballs are always a winning combination. Also, it’s a quick and easy meal for many of our beneficiary organisations to prepare and serve.

Thank you, @rhodesquality Foods, for donating 927 kgs of frozen meatballs! They are going to pair perfectly with, among others, our very own pasta sauce that we make from surplus tomatoes.

Be a #foodhero and join our efforts. A world with zero hunger can positively impact our economies, health, education, equality and social development. Let’s build a better future for everyone.

Winemaker @markleroux85 and the team at @waterford_estate in Stellenbosch care for more than just wine.
.
They have chosen to use only half of their 120 hectares of land for planting vines in order to preserve and protect the natural fauna and flora on the estate.
.
On 15 October, Waterford Wine Estate hosted an online auction featuring an amazing selection of wines from their Library Collection. They managed to raise R10,120 which will help us provide almost 12,000 meals to vulnerable South Africans.
.
Thank you, Waterford Wine Estate, Mark le Roux and @sebastian.rezek for supporting our hunger relief efforts.

Chef Pete will join our splendid team of chef ambassadors, @jennymorrischef, @bonello.justin, @sarahgrahamfood and @cptjamierowntree whom all offer their time freely because they love making a difference and are committed to helping us end hunger in South Africa.

We’ve done it!
.
FoodForward SA now forwards food to vulnerable communities across all nine provinces in South Africa!
.
On 15 October, the day before World Food Day, we distributed quality surplus food to nine beneficiary organisations in Mpumalanga, via three drop-off points located in White River, Embalenhle and Mkhondo. These included four centres for orphans and vulnerable children, two community feeding programmes, one after-school facility for children, one shelter and one disability centre.
.
A total of 4 313 vulnerable people from Vlakbult, Mbombela, Mkhondo, Mbongwane, Embalenhle and Kwamhlanga will benefit from the quality surplus food you help us secure.
.
Thank you, to each and every donor supporting our efforts, especially the FirstRand SPIRE Fund andKellogg's South Africa for enabling our expansion to Mpumalanga.

Thank you, @Nedbank, for joining us on World Food Day. 🍏 Our actions are our future.

“World Food Day is an opportunity for us as proud Nedbankers to raise awareness and take action for those who suffer from hunger and are most vulnerable. Today as we join forces with @foodforwardsa in their initiative for #ZeroHunger, we also stand by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals of reducing overall hunger (SDG #2) and creating awareness on responsible food production and consumption through minimizing food waste (SDG #12).”

Says Cobus de Bruyn, Northern Divisional Manager for #NedbankAgric: ‘We are excited to, once again, partner with @foodforwardsa – this time physically helping to pack much-needed food for vulnerable communities. We’ve been blown away by the scale of the organisation and the meaningful impact it has on the food security situation in South Africa'.

Our decisions carry much power.
.
What we do (and don’t do) today directly impacts how we experience tomorrow. Bad decisions, especially, impact on people’s lives for years and even generations to come.
.
Over the last couple of months, we’ve all been reminded of just how much our (in)actions shape our future. Important days like World Food Day give us time to take stock of what is important.
.
Nutritious food is crucial to the development of each and every person, community, family, organisation and country.
.
South Africa produces enough food to feed all its people but one third of this food is lost or wasted. We can all take better decisions to avoid food loss.
.
This World Food Day, 16 October, help @foodforwardsa recover this edible surplus food so that we can feed our people and save our environment. Each donation of R255 helps us feed one hungry South African one meal every day for an entire year!
.
Follow the link in our bio if you’re ready to join our food recovery efforts and donate.

Eating good food, especially with family and frien

Eating good food, especially with family and friends, is one of the pleasures of life that millions of South Africans don’t get to experience every day.
.
People who eat healthy, balanced diets are likely to have more energy to work and enjoy themselves and likely to have fewer infections and other illnesses. Children who eat well usually grow well. Women who eat well are likely to produce healthy babies.
.
Thank you to our World Food Day food sponsors who have generously donated towards our food packing events being hosted this Friday at our Cape Town and Johannesburg warehouses. We look forward to hosting our corporate partners who have dedicated their time to help pack 100 food parcels each.
.
Our actions are our future. Let’s grow, nourish and sustain, together.

There are still many more food supply chain role players that can donate their surplus food to help us feed vulnerable South Africans.
.
Donating quality edible surplus food is good business practice and good for business and the environment.

As we approach World Food Day, now is the time for us all to take action for our children’s future. Our actions are our future. Let’s grow, nourish and sustain, together.

Like all the people who, produce, plant, harvest, fish or transport our food… you can be a #foodhero too!
.
During these difficult times, many South Africans have gone hungry because of unemployment. By helping our most vulnerable South Africans access nutritious food, you help them recover from the impact of the #COVID19 pandemic.
.
As World Food Day approaches, help us divert quality surplus food to hungry South Africans instead of it ending up in landfills.
.
World Food Day promotes global awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (@fao) designated 16 October as World Food Day in 1979.
.
Guided by the World Food Day theme (Grow, nourish, sustain. Together. Our actions are our future.), we look forward to taking hands with volunteers from @investec Wealth & Investment Limited, @Pepsico, @engen.sa, The Institute of Risk Management of South Africa, @nedbank and more this Friday to distribute food to our network of beneficiary organisations.
.
You can help too. Follow the link in our bio to donate.

Our actions are our future.
