Project

Love Sandwiches

Hunger in our country has intensified during the Covid-19 crisis, with the number of “food stressed” citizens having doubled to 30 million in comparison to 2019. The effects stem far and wide, notably into the education sector as children are too hungry to attend or focus at school.

The Eastern Cape has the highest number of social grants given to children under the age of 12, meaning they’re below the poverty line. For many it means receiving only a daily ration.

LOVE SANDWICHES supplies bread to underprivileged Early Learning Centres around Port Elizabeth. In order to reach the hundreds of desperate children who are part of this programme, we need your help.

How to Help:

  1. When grocery shopping add an extra loaf of bread or two/peanut butter to your shop and drop off at our premises any day of the week.
  2. Make sandwiches at home or with a group of friends and drop off ready-made sandwiches at our premises.
  3. A great team building idea is to facilitate a “spreadathon” at your workplace, school or church where participants bring bread and peanut butter and make as many sandwiches as possible during the proposed time.
