Do More Foundation delivers 1 million meals for Mandela Day project
The local non-profit organisation celebrated Madiba's legacy with a week's worth of giving.
LAST week, in celebration of Mandela Day, the Do More Foundation ensured that 1 million hot Rainbow Chicken meals were donated to vulnerable communities.
“Partnerships and collaborations enable us to do more than we could on our own, and this campaign was no different,” said the foundation’s executive, Warren Farrer.
The local non-profit organisation partnered with 329 soup kitchens across nine provinces, including organisations such as Meals on Wheels, Afrika Tikkun, Save the Children and the Department of Social Development, to provide the 1 million hot meals to those in need.
