Soup kitchen feeds 700 in Kempton Park
Seven hundred food parcels and 350 balls were handed out at Operation Anti-Freeze’s Christmas Soup Kitchen.
Seven hundred food parcels were handed out at Operation Anti-Freeze’s Christmas Soup Kitchen on Voortrekker Road last week Wednesday.
Operation Anti-Freeze is a non-profit organisation and upliftment project that usually feeds 600 people on the first Wednesday of every month.
Hot dogs and juice were served and enjoyed on the day.
“What this organisation does is really great,” said Tina Molelekeng, one of the community members at the soup kitchen.
“We truly appreciate this; they have been doing this for years now. We need more people like this who think of others.”
The soup kitchen lasted just over an hour.
“It went really well. We had more volunteers this year, which was really helpful and ensured that everything ran smoothly,” said Hilary Carhart, project coordinator and fund-raiser.
Santa Claus also made a stop, handing out balls to the children.
The toys were donated by HYSA and out of the 400 donated 350 were handed out.
