A substantial amount of money was donated to Unchain Our Children by an anonymous donor to purchase fresh produce for 15 families in the Klerksdorp community. One of Unchain's operatives distributed bakkie-loads of lovely fresh meat, veggies and groceries among the vulnerable families.
“We are extremely grateful for such generosity and Unchain Our Children would like to thank this donor for a wonderful gesture showing that caring is sharing.” Wayne van Onselen, Founder and Executive Director of Unchain Our Children.
During the festive season, over-catering and excess amount to a lot of food waste which could have fed many:
“Statistics by the Department of Environment, Forestry, and Fisheries (DEFF) indicate that roughly 10 million tons of food is wasted annually, 500 000 tons of which come from consumption waste. This is food that could otherwise feed over seven million people per year – particularly significant in a developing country like South Africa, which is faced with widespread poverty, hunger, and food insecurity.” Source: https://www.iol.co.za/business-report/economy/feast-responsibly-this-festive-season-to-avoid-noxious-food-waste-7115a3ee-5c40-494f-9901-640a20cb762e
