Cape Town-based Ladles of Love is one the most prolific food charity organisations in South Africa.

On a chilly July evening in 2014, a small team of volunteers came together to serve 70 hot meals at the first official soup kitchen. That same kitchen now happens every week – along with many others – serving hundreds of nutritious meals to those in need weekly. Ladles of Love supports numerous community kitchens, schools, social enterprises, and NPOs with much-needed food supplies and other goods, allowing them to reach out further and touch the lives of the vulnerable who need it now more than ever.
