This is critical as the municipality will not be able to support them indefinitely,\u201d he explained. <\/p>\n<p>Large gas burners, gas bottles, pots and a month\u2019s worth of food supplies were delivered to four of the soup kitchens on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>At the hand-over were the Masakhane Givers from Loerie and three projects from Humansdorp, namely, Feeding Hands, Kouga Social and Rural Development, as well as the Humansdorp Community Feeding Action Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese four groups provide a meal to almost 1000 residents, young and old, at least three times a week. They are doing an incredible job and we are honoured to be able to support their efforts,\u201d Hendricks said.<\/p>\n<p>Jacques Alexander, from the Humansdorp Community Feeding Action Group, said the donation meant a great deal to the beneficiaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need in our communities is great and the municipality\u2019s support will help us to continue bringing relief to those who struggle to put food on their tables,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hendricks said the donations for the remaining two soup kitchens, from Jeffreys Bay and Humansdorp, were also being finalised for delivery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MORE than 1 000 residents are set to benefit from new social relief partnerships initiated by the Kouga
