KFC’s Add Hope is on a countrywide tour, visiting its beneficiaries who receive support from the R2 donations made at KFC stores.
Add Hope has been operating for seven years.
The tour paid a visit to Epworth Children’s Village, in Lambton, last Monday.
Epworth is one of Add Hope’s beneficiaries and has been for as long as the CSI initiative has been around.
“It is World Hunger Month, so it is a worldwide focus on hunger,” said Cathy Qama, CSI and sponsorship manager at KFC.
“We do a lot of activity during the period of October to highlight the cause, which is also an opportunity to raise mass awareness.
“Add Hope feeds over 110 000 children through the 110 charities we support.”
Qama also explained that the R2 donated by customers at different KFC outlets goes to a trust account.
“There is an Add Hope trust which is separate from the KFC income, so that R2 goes straight into that trust account, it doesn’t go to KFC first or anything like that,” she said.
“It is a separate bank account and it is managed separately.”
Team members from different KFCs were present during the visit, that included a tour of the Epworth home.
“We wanted the staff to also know where the donations they keep asking for go,” explained Qaba.
“To see and remember the lovely faces for who they collect the R2.
“This is also a great opportunity to thank our team members who ask for the donations, so they can see that it is actually a worthy cause.”
The home shelters 56 children between the ages of three and 20 years.
Add Hope’s support assists in feeding the children at Epworth.
“We are very fortunate to have been on Add Hope’s beneficiary list for all these years,” said the home’s public relations officer, Roberta Ingrato.
“We feed the children four meals every day; breakfast, lunch, supper and lunch for school, so it is a great help when we receive such donations.
“When we get funding it helps a lot, because we are responsible for all the costs of the children, which includes food, school transport and clothing.”
The children at the home were given a treat during Add Hope’s visit.
Children at Epworth Children’s Village indulged in the delicious treat given by KFC’s Add Hope.
