Sandwich kitchen helps feed Toti’s hungry
The Toti kitchen is currently making and delivering 30 sandwiches daily to each of the three participating schools.
With a heart to feed the vulnerable, the Domino Foundation has partnered with Kingsway Church International to open a new sandwich kitchen in Amanzimtoti.
The foundation is a non-profit organisation involved in community outreach programmes that focuses on the individual to empower, uplift and transform their lives so they too can impact the nation and others around them. They currently impact the lives of just over 4,000 individuals every day, ranging from 0 to 18 years of age.
The Toti Sandwich Kitchen works closely with local schools to identify the most vulnerable pupils by providing delicious sandwiches to school children who don’t have a packed lunch. Empty tummies pose a serious barrier to learning, so by receiving nutritious sandwiches, children are able to concentrate in class. The Toti kitchen is currently making and delivering 30 sandwiches daily to each of the three participating schools with hopes to expand the programme soon.
“Hunger is something that an estimated 10.7 million South Africans face as they live on or below the poverty line,” said Domino Foundation COO, Shaun Tait.
“The foundation’s feeding programme aims to support individuals rise above the line and since the beginning of the year, we have prepared and distributed 94,500 sandwiches.
One of our key objectives is to enhance learning through meeting children’s physical needs for health and balanced nutrition. We are excited to partner with Kingsway Church International in the South Coast area and align our visions through feeding.”
Local businesses and individuals who want to assist in any way can call Cheryl Dann at the church office on 031-903-8331 or email feedingtoti@domino.org.za. The project is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to prepare sandwiches, and regular donations of eggs, mayonnaise, butter, bread, polony and peanut butter. The Domino Foundation offers a range of innovative solutions for meaningful CSI spend and are able to provide all documentation required for B-BBEE and tax exemption purposes.
