A group of Muizenberg Scouts spent their weekend spreading joy to the little ones at a crèche in Westlake by dropping off food parcels on Saturday 2 August.
The 1st Muizenberg Sea Scout group dropped off 110 jars of hope towards the Women of Westlake Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre and non-profit organisation (NPO).
Jars of Hope contain dry soup ingredients that can be cooked into a nutritious meal, including rice, lentils, soup mix, a stock cube, and soup powder.
The ingredients are layered in a jar, and when cooked with water, they provide a hearty meal for a family.
The 110 jars can provide up to 440 meals for the young boys and girls at the centre.
The centre was launched by founder Anthea Thebus in 2007 but registered as an NPO in 2016.
“Women of Westlake relies solely on the public for donations and without the food donations we receive monthly from FoodForward SA none of this would even be attainable with the current state of our economy,” said Thebus.
The Scouts also hand delivered 106 Jars of Hope, equalling 424 meals towards the senior residents at the Mez Wallach residential communicare in Lakeside on Saturday 2 August.
