Operation Anti-Freeze feeds more than 800 people
The project assists approximately 1 500 people on a monthly basis
OPERATION Anti-Freeze, a non-profit organisation and upliftment project, fed more than 800 people at their June soup kitchen initiative at Shoprite Checkers on Voortrekker Road on June 7.
Each of the 800 people received a hotdog, cold drink, food parcel to take home, as well as either a scarf or beanie which was collected through their Winter Woolies Drive throughout the year.
“I would like to say thank you to everyone who donated towards this project. Many people will be a bit warmer this winter because of your generosity,” said project coordinator and fundraiser, Hilary Tolmay.
“I would also like to say a big thank you to our donors and volunteers without whom it would not be possible to run the soup kitchens, thank you for helping us to fight hunger and feed hope.”
To keep Operation Anti-Freeze running they are always in need of all kinds of donations from food, stationery, clothing and blankets to financial donations to cover their operating expenses.
The project assists about 1 500 people on a monthly basis and they completely rely on donations to keep them going.
“We need both the public and the corporate sector to open their hearts and assist us to fight the plight of poverty in our community.”
