Help us put food into their hands

In places like Bergsig in the Northern Cape, children know what it’s like to go to bed hungry. Massive job losses, triggered by the lockdown, have left their parents struggling to put food on the table.

Whole communities are reeling under the burden of extreme poverty and the threat of Covid-19. Promised government food parcels have failed to materialise. And family and neighbours can’t help because everyone is suffering.

Just a small plate of stew and some bread literally means the difference between hope and despair.

And it’s yours to give, simply by supporting the Society of St Vincent de Paul today.

Your donationof R150, R350 or any amount you can spare helps keep our soup kitchens stocked with nutritious vegetables, beans, rice and a little meat.

A contribution of R500 provides a food parcel with enough rice, cooking oil, mealie meal, canned fish, sugar, tea and soap to last a family of four an entire week.

Any amount – donated online now – makes a difference.

And let yours be the generous hand that lifts hungry children and adults from the depths of despair.
