SHOPRITE ACT FOR CHANGE – SPREADING WARMTH AND KINDNESS
Shoprite Act for Change’s Mobile Soup Kitchen regularly visits Algoa Bay Council for the Aged (ABCA) to bring warm, nourishing soup and fresh bread to our elderly residents.
Yesterday was an extremely cold and windy day, with winds reaching up to 56 km/h. With the safety of our Buffelsfontein Village residents in mind, we could not risk asking them to walk through the strong winds to collect their meals.
With more than 400 residents living at Buffelsfontein Village, the quantity of soup and bread available was also not enough to provide for everyone on site. Rather than have residents gathering in the cold and wind, we decided to send the warm meals down to our Cuylerholme housing project, where more than 50 residents could enjoy a comforting meal in the warmth and safety of their homes.
A heartfelt thank you to Shoprite Act for Change for continuing to support our elderly community. Your Mobile Soup Kitchen brings more than just a warm meal — it brings comfort, care and kindness to our residents, especially on those cold winter days when it is needed most.
Thank you for helping us keep our elderly residents warm, nourished and cared for.
