FoodBank South Africa

LEARN about hunger: Spend the next 15 minutes browsing the www.foodbank.org.za website, focusing on the problem of hunger in South Africa (and the global situation), and how you can be a part of solving it.

TEACH your children: Download Hunger Bytes, a set of exercises to do with your children to educate your family about hunger in South Africa.  Try and draw how hunger feels and find out how many South Africans are vulnerable to food insecurity, and how foodbanking is helping fight hunger. [Hunger Bytes is a PDF and requires Acrobat Reader.]

ENGAGE your community: Download the Placemat for the Hungry, and use it as a conversation piece for discussing hunger with your friends and in your community. You can engage your colleagues by putting the placemat out at lunch time, at your local coffee shop or restaurant by asking the owner to do the same, and by distributing it at your place of worship.   [Placemat for the Hungry is a PDF and requires Acrobat Reader.]
