Ladles of Love PE

Ladles of Love is Non Profit organization that provides food to about 138 primary beneficiaries, who in turn provide to hundreds of subsidiaries in the Western Cape. The drive has been so successful that they decided to expand into Port Elizabeth together with Sun International by opening up a depot at The Boardwalk Casino to do a sandwich drive - it was hugely successful - we are hoping that they will be expanding upon this in the near future.

We are so excited to be spreading the love even further in other provinces. The Sandwich and Essential Groceries Drive is now in full operation in Port Elizabeth???? Please drop-off all the sandwiches and groceries at the Boardwalk Hotel Port Elizabeth, next to Lighthouses ten pin bowling, at 2nd Avenue carport. Sign up and be a huge part of the team NOW or get more information about this initiative by clicking our bio link to help us feed more people!

We love celebrating these milestones because it means a lot to us that we're able to do this. However, it's with a heavy heart too - because it's kind of unbelievable that there are this many people in such desperate need.

We are determined to keep going and find the money to meet the rising need for food. Help us to do this by sponsoring Danny now on his 24hr Sarmiethon - an epic challenge to raise a million rand for our projects.

Danny will be making sandwiches for 24hours with the goal of raising R1million rand. This will take place at the Seapoint promenade on 12 & 13 September. Here’s how you can get involved and more details on the event - www.quicket.co.za/events/113947-dannys-24hr-sarmiethon#/

We also have a Ladles of Love 45second TV ad which is played on various platforms and the call to action is to donate R150 which will feed someone for a month. The advert is on our landing page www.ladlesoflove.org.za
