Charity Begins At Home: The Community Feeders Initiative

Community Feeders is an Eesterust based initiative with the aim to provide a nutritious meal for hungry children. The group of 10, mainly consisting of educators, have worked with underprivileged children and started the initiative in 2023 to feed the children in their community. 

The Community Feeders initiative had originally been operating under a different non profit organisation (NPO) for a year and are now in the process of applying as a registered NPO. Relying solely on sponsors, the group feeds over 400 people a month, with a focus specifically on children, but adults and the elderly in the community are welcome. The group intends to host their community food drives twice a month once the initiative has gained their registered NPO status with aspirations of providing meals to members of other communities. 

Community Feeders started as an initiative to feed hungry children, but it has grown into a space where the less fortunate, young and old, are able to receive a warm, home cooked meal that was served with love, and has become a way for volunteers to give back to their community as well, leading to everyone in attendance feeling happier.

Support The Community Feeders Initiative — together, we can nourish hope and fight hunger in our community.
