Food Security
One third of all food produced in South Africa is wasted while millions of vulnerable people are food insecure. To play our part in addressing this issue, in 2010 we partnered with Food Forward SA, who are South Africa’s leading food redistributor. Throughout this partnership we have donated approximately 1290 tonnes of food which Food Forward estimates to have equated to approximately 5 million meals.
As South Africans from all walks of life commemorate Mandela Day through volunteering in their communities and gestures of goodwill, retail group Massmart would like to acknowledge the dedication of the organisations who make it their mission to make a difference in the lives of others, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
