The non-profit organisation, Let’s Work, donate food to the underprivileged in the community one day a time.
They provide a daily meal to four old age homes, two orphans, soup kitchens, Marang house and others in need.
Felicity Gratz-Lawlor has been running the programme for about two years with the help of volunteers and the Let’s Work team, who also receive meals for themselves and their family.
Keketso Ditshego who has been with Let’s Work for about one year now said, “I found out about Let’s Work through word of mouth. Our daily routine is breakfast in the morning, a team talk before 8.30 am and then we do our daily duties which include cleaning in and around the Roosevelt area, cleaning pavements, picking up litter and cutting grass.”
The organisation gets donations from varies food supermarkets in Victory Park, Blackheath, Berario and even as far as Bel Air. Erika Le Gassick, a volunteer at Let’s Work said, “We’ve developed a good relationship with the supermarkets for some time now, there are still some more that we are approaching for food. The places we give out food to receive it once a day and we work to get the food out by 1.30pm daily. Most places that we give food out to come and collect them from us.”
Hayden Johnson from GEM Homes for Senior Citizens said they collect food from Let’s Work twice a week, and added that the organisation also helps out when they have functions. The home has around 90 people who depend on the daily food donations by Let’s Work.
