In Forderville, 150 pre-packed meals were distributed and appreciatively accepted by the locals.

“This brings our total for this month to a record 800 meals in one month, exceeding our May total of 600. My goal is to one day distribute 1000 meals in one month. Even the rain didn’t stop us from reaching this milestone. At one stage, we were only distributing 200 meals,” said Food for Life Estcourt volunteer Lokeshwar Das.
