Restaurant’s soup drive makes for a warmer winter for Diepsloot locals
DIEPSLOOT – The Aurum restaurant has set a goal of donating 25 000 cups of soup to community members in need.
Two local businesses have joined forces to lend a helping hand to those communities who do not have access to a regular meal during this challenging time of Covid-19.
In their quest to fight hunger and help those who have nothing to eat during the pandemic, a Sandton-based restaurant, Aurum in partnership with Legacy Pride, Legacy Hotel and Resort’s non-profit company, have launched a soup drive initiative to give back to the community. Managing director at Aurum, Paulo Santo said they have set themselves a target of donating 25 000 cups of soup and 2 500 loaves of bread over the next three months.
For every dish purchased off their new Comfort menu, a cup of soup and bread will be donated to a number of initiatives including the Dieplsoot Residents Association.
“Being in the food business means that we have a responsibility to share the joy of a wholesome winter meal with those in need, not just with our paying customers,” Santo said.
“For the next three months, we have set ourselves a target of serving 25 000 cups of soup and 2 500 loaves of bread. We hope that this will help the many communities who do not have access to a regular meal, never mind a wholesome, home-cooked one.”
Legacy Hotels and Resorts group marketing manager Robert Hodson said Legacy Pride would contribute a cup for every cup prepared for the first 1 000 orders.
“Giving back is very much part of the Legacy story and we hope that this partnership will make a difference to those in need,” he said.
