Those looking to support a good cause in the Bloemfontein community, need to look no further. The impact that can be made when people take hands to support those in need, is clearly illustrated by the local branch of Meals on Wheels (MOW) in Bloemfontein delivering 1 000 meals for this year’s charity focus on World Food Day.
Workers of Sasko (part of PepsiCo) helped to prepare the meals on Thursday 23 October, in the MOW kitchen in Bloemspruit.
Sasko workers Tumelo Pitso and Obakeng Rankoe joined colleagues to help prepare the meal, which consisted of chicken curry and rice, and a Waldorf salad.
The daily delivery included 100 beneficiaries who collected their meals at the premisis, with more going to residents of the Thabang Old Age Home, the Letloto Old Age Home, residents in Exton Road, Towers of Hope, the Bokang Educare Centre and many more.
Meals on Wheels in Bloemfontein cooks and delivers more than 10 000 meals accross the country every month.
World Food Day is an international day celebrated every year close to 16 October, to commemorate the date of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation in 1945.
