KRAAIFONTEIN SOUP KITCHEN: OVER 1 500 MEALS COOKED DAILY, COME RAIN OR SHINE
Feeding the masses THABANG KUAHO @thab_journo Three women from Kraaifontein are committed to continue feeding the hungry everyday, whether they can afford to or not. Lecille Poole, Sarina Winlock and Carol Swanepoel, all from different non-profit organisations in the community, came together to
start what is now called the Kraaifontein Soup Kitchen. The kitchen feeds between 1 500 and 1 700 people with nutritious cooked meals daily. Funds to cook the food comes from the women’s own pockets, with some relief from private organisations and businesses. “We decided to come together and help the greater Kraaifontein
as we saw the need for healthy food growing because of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown,” Poole says. The meals are prepared daily and distributed in different communities on different days. “Even though this is self-funded, we have been lucky to receive help from the Carmen Stevens Foundation, a non-profit organisation that is known for supporting projects
that feed children from underprivileged communities to improve the environment for education. On Sunday 9 August, the Kraaifontein Soup Kitchen decided to hold a special event in honour of Women’s Day but the rain made it impossible to take place. A guest speaker was invited to empower women in the community0. “Unfortunately, because of the
rains, we could not have the motivational talk so we decided to just continue with the feeding as normal,” Poole explained. Apart from the feeding, the kitchen also helps to provide clothing and school stationery to needy children in the community. Poole hopes the initiative will direct children away from criminal activities.
