Help Wentworth Angels keep their vision alive
Wentworth Angels is in great need of ingredients in order to continue cooking hot meals which many needy families rely on.
WITH the excessively growing demand to feed families in need, Wentworth Angels was forced to halt their feeding scheme on Sunday, 10 May due to a lack of resources.
“It was with a heavy heart that I had to tell our local communities that they would not receive a meal Monday, 11 May. We had to put the feeding on hold, serving the last of our meals to the communities on Sunday, as we lacked ingredients and sponsorship to continue this initiative,” said Tracey Williams, founder of Wentworth Angels.
Wentworth Angels, which has been working closely with fellow feeding organisation Food for Life, are both in great need of ingredients in order to continue cooking hot meals which many needy families rely on. “Many NPOs and NGOs collect meals from Paul Pillay from Food for Life, but not many come back and assist with the ingredients to cook for our people. We have to date, made a positive impact within many wards and would like to continue with the vision. This is the first time since lockdown that we have run out of ingredients to provide for our people. We are trusting in God that sponsors will make contact and help us to continue with the vision.
“I extend a huge thank you to Paul and his team for extending their hearts to the many communities that we serve. I have witnessed first-hand how well he and his team work in a neat and tidy environment, providing nutritional meals on a daily basis. We would like to also thank all sponsors that assisted since the beginning of the lockdown and our dedicated volunteers from Wentworth Angels and Food for Life, who have dedicated their time to be a blessing in this current crisis,” she said.
The team is in great need of onions, potatoes, carrots, green peppers, frozen mix veg, cabbages, tomatoes, lentils, dhal, sugar beans, broad beans, rice, chillies, garlic and ginger, dry chillies, tumeric powder, dhania, curry powder, soya mince, tinned fish, meaty bones and polystyrene containers.
“Anything the community can assist us with will be greatly appreciated. We are appealing for assistance to continue with the vision laid on our hearts,” added Tracey. To make a donation or for more information contact Tracey Williams on 074-703-1393 or Paul Pillay on 084-441-5647.
