OneCart & FoodForward SA Team Up To Fight Hunger

Joburg Admin / April 23, 2020

Feeding South Africa

OneCart have partnered with FoodForward SA in their mission to create a South Africa without hunger, and you can be part of it and help make a difference. For just 85c, OneCart and FoodForward SA can provide a full meal to someone in need when you shop online at www.onecart.co.za. Over 14 million South Africans go without adequate food. FoodFoward SA – a food banking and redistribution organisation – are geared to address this problem. They connect a world of quality surplus food to a world of need. As a part of this initiative, for the next 30 days OneCart will match every donation made to play a part in delivering food to those in need. To encourage their shoppers to be part of this mission, OneCart have launched the option to donate at checkout on their site. And by the end of April 2020, their app will have also implemented this feature.

About FoodForward SA

Addressing the issues of widespread hunger in South Africa, FoodForward SA recovers edible surplus food from farmers, manufacturers and retailers for redistribution to registered Beneficiary Organisations (BOs) that serve the poor. This process is called cost-effective model food banking. FoodForward SA focuses on alleviating hunger and reducing the environmental impact by diverting good quality edible surplus food. Reducing food waste and loss is the third most effective solution for fighting climate change.
