Sandwich kitchen celebrates taking a bite out of school-day hunger
Sandwiches are delivered to children in local schools.
Volunteers, staff and beneficiaries, as well as KCI staff, gathered together on Tuesday, 29 November to celebrate the success of the Domino Foundation’s Amanzimtoti sandwich kitchen and thank the volunteers for the hours they spent making sandwiches for local school children.
Under the guidance of Domino and kitchen manager, Cheryl Dann, and the support of 23 generous volunteers, the kitchen has prepared and delivered an incredible 13,500 sandwiches from April to the end of the third school term.
Sandwiches are delivered to children in local schools who can’t afford lunches and as a result, battle to concentrate in class. The team now delivers 660 sandwiches a week, with more schools on the horizon for 2017 and dreams to expand their current premises.
The Domino Foundation, based in Durban North, started as a simple sandwich kitchen and now impacts 4,000 individuals on a daily basis in KZN and the Western Cape.
