Each week we collect and deliver hundreds of kilos of fresh produce; bread, fruit, vegetables, etc. Here Mike is sorting one of our weekly loads of vegetables and Angie is delivering it to Sive Nathi, a center for severely disabled children.

Fresh Bread
In just one week we picked up and gave away over 5000 fresh rolls! We’re so thankful for the donation of this bread as it’s helping us to add an important staple to the meals of thousands of hungry children, and adults too. Anthony about to unload one of our vans, filled with 3,500 yummy rolls, while these little students from Fisantekraal beam their smiles at us as they eagerly look forward to their next meal.
May Distribution
During the month of May we moved thousands of kilos of produce from our mission to the different institutions that serve the needy. In order to make sure that each beneficiary gets what they need, we spend time sorting, packing, dividing, and assigning each different stack of food Here you see Christopher and Francis moving the boxes assigned to be delivered that day.
Once Upon a Day…
We traveled many kilometres delivering food parcels to hundreds of families. We visited disadvantaged neighbourhoods, an informal settlement, and a farming community. At the end of this long and exciting day we had distributed food (along with Gospel pamphlets) to nearly 450 families; affecting approximately 1700 people! A beautiful day in all ways; great weather, warm smiles, and sunny faces!
Packing Food Parcels for Needy Families
We received a enormous amount of varied food items this week; ranging from soup tins to juice to breakfast cereals etc. Both young and old(er) got involved in making parcels for distribution to those in need.
Chips of Cheer
We received a donation of chips recently; and this morning distributed packets to patients at the Morningstar Day Clinic. With each packet we presented a Gospel Pamphlet with a down-to-earth salvation message. Although simple gifts, they were received with happy smiles and brought a bit of cheer to all those at this busy facility- staff and patients alike!
Showers of…cheese!
Boxes and boxes of cheese, totaling over fifteen thousand packets (3200 kg!) were distributed during the last two days, thanks to a generous donation from a local import company. Among the many recipients were the grateful patients of three different HIV/TB clinics who were thrilled with their ‘Easter gift’ of cheese, hot-cross buns and cool-drinks. Over a dozen other centers and feeding schemes -feeding thousands -also benefited from this nutritious blessing.
