{ GET INVOLVED } meals have been distributed, and by the end of June the wonderful soup kitchen will have delivered 250 000 cooked meals. This initiative would not be possible without generous donations from the Willowton Group, RCL Foods, Unilever, The Juice Kitchen, Oxford Food Market and Regal Meats. “The Upper Highway community has also stepped up and embraced the project, streams of regular guests and friends deliver fresh vegetables, spices and grains and we are yet to need to buy raw materials,” says Bellevue Café owner, Guy Cluver. “Financial donations have also poured in. Our waitering team has really enjoyed the project and while the earnings are needed and appreciated, they all love making a difference.” Julika Falconer, CEO of Zero2Five Trust, is also overwhelmed by the support. “The monetary donations will allow us to continue cooking and delivering these highly nutritious chicken stews for another few weeks and help many struggling families survive this crisis.” FOR MORE INFO: Support the cause by donating vegetables to Bellevue Café or by donating via www.zero2five.org; contact Julika Falconer on 082 533 3132 for more info
