FoodBank South Africa

The single biggest factor which may limit our ability to transform hunger in South Africa is, of course, a lack of money.  We are lucky enough to enjoy the staunch support of several key individual, corporate, government and other donors.  However, we need more and even a little helps.

Any contribution you can make will be valued and put to highly effective use. In fact, we and our many partners around South Africa believe that helping FoodBank South Africa today represents the single most cost effective contribution you could make to achieve food security and fight poverty in South Africa.

Our national network makes effective use of huge volumes of good quality food and other groceries, much of which would otherwise go to waste.

Organise a Food Drive

A great way for your organisation, club or faith community can support food sourcing for your local FoodBank is starting a regular food drive, collecting donations of cans, dry goods and other items needed by your FoodBank.  Before embarking on a Food Drive, be sure to contact your local FoodBank (currently Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth) to discuss current needed items, as well as items we cannot receive (such as opened or partly used cans or jars of food).  If your Food Drive anticipates getting a large volume of food (typically 75kg or more, or 200 cans or more), and you are within 30km of a FoodBank, your local FoodBank will also try to assist you with transport.

Buy a Care 2 Carry Bag

We have partnered with Fruit & Veg City to produce a limited edition of Care 2 Carry Bags, bright reusable shopping bags that have paintings from children at one of our beneficiary organisations reflecting some of their hopes and dreams.  You can purchase these bags for R10 at any Fruit & Veg City (click here for locations), and R2 out of every purchase is donated to FoodBank SA.  Here is a way to be green, contribute to ending hunger and look fashionable while shopping for your fruit and veggies.
