least 670 bottles of \u201cKeep Kouga Caring\u201d for families in need over the next three weeks in celebration of Mandela Day on Sunday, July 18.<\/p>\n<p>Each bottle will contain rice, soup mix, lentils, soup power and a stock cube \u2013 enough to provide a warm meal for a family of four.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe municipality has launched a competition for staff and councillors, aimed at supporting food relief projects that assist residents, whose income has been affected by COVID-19 and who struggle to put food on the table,\u201d said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach and every employee and councillor has been challenged to donate as many empty glass coffee bottles and dry ingredients as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Hendricks, each bottle of \u201cKeep Kouga Caring\u201d will ensure at least one warm meal for a family of four.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe directorate that donates the most bottles and ingredients will be crowned the Community Champion,\u201d said Hendricks.<\/p>\n<p>Hendricks said thousands of Kouga households had been struggling to put food on their tables due to the lockdown restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe municipality and community-based projects helped to feed more than 25 000 people across Kouga during the first 35 days of the COVID-19 lockdown,\u201d Hendricks added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn October 2020, the municipality joined hands with six soup kitchens, most of which were established during the COVID-19 lockdown, to help address the escalating shortage of food in homes \u2013 benefiting more than 1 000 residents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottles of \u2018Keep Kouga Caring\u2019 donated by municipal employees and councillors, will allow us to add to these efforts and reach even more people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201dAccording to Hendricks, he is very proud of the staff members for initiating the drive and showing their hearts truly belong to Kouga and its people. \u201cMay the best directorate win!\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>How residents can help<\/h3>\n<p>Residents and businesses can help by donating empty coffee bottles and ingredients for the soup mixture.<\/p>\n<p>Each bottle of
