Donate non-perishable food for children over the festive season
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
For thousands of vulnerable children, schools and Early Childhood Development (ECD) centres provide more than education. They provide essential meals that many families cannot afford to offer at home. When schools close for the festive season, this vital source of nourishment disappears. While many families celebrate the holidays, others face the heartbreaking reality of not knowing where their children's next meal will come from. Operation Hunger is calling on individuals, families and businesses to become Hunger Heroes by donating non-perishable food items to help nourish vulnerable children and families this festive season. Items needed include: Rice, maize meal and pasta Tinned fish, beans and vegetables Peanut butter Long-life milk Oats and breakfast cereals Dried beans, lentils and soup mixes Cooking oil Other nutritious, non-perishable food items All donated items must be unopened and within their expiry dates. Your donation, no matter how small, can help put food on a family's table and nourishment within a child's reach. This festive season, give a gift that truly matters. Become a Hunger Hero. Donate food. Nourish a child. Give hope.
