It has been estimated that up to 25% of South African households (not limited to informal settlements!) are without money to buy food. This is absolutely heartbreaking, and as followers of Christ, we feel compelled to do what we can, even if it seems little in the face of overwhelming need. We have been continuing our collection and distribution of fresh foods and goods during lockdown – while observing all possible practices for hygiene and social distancing for the protection of ourselves and others. To date since lockdown began we have distributed over 5700kg of fresh food – meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and bread, plus staples like rice, flour, sugar, tins, maize, tissue paper, and more! One day at a time, one person, one family, one community, one goal – Love and Hope in the midst of need and chaos.
