Mobile Soup Kitchen
The Royco and Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchen partnership has served many vulnerable communities across South Africa for 15 years by providing meals of hope to those who need it most. Royco’s contribution towards the Soup Kitchens dates back to 2007 when they started supplying vitamin-enriched soup to help fight hunger in the heart of communities such as old-age homes and township schools.
Poverty and hunger have, for many years, remained two of the toughest challenges facing many communities within our country.
The COVID-19 pandemic only worsened these challenges, specifically for those already burdened by high unemployment, poverty, and inequality. Over the past 10 years, the partnership has resulted in the successful delivery of over 40 million meals nationally.
Since the start of the lockdown, the Shoprite Mobile Soup Kitchens in partnership with Royco, have supported more than 5 000 organisations, serving more than 8.8 million meals of vitamin-enriched soup and bread.
