What we do

We fight food insecurity year-round through community cook-ups, soup kitchens, hot-meal services, mass iftars and seasonal hamper distributions prioritising dignity and local participation.

How it looks on the ground

  • Community cook-ups: Volunteers prepare large pots weekly; entire neighbourhoods share in the meal.
  • Iftar & Suhoor meals: Daily service during Ramadan turns mealtimes into moments of connection.
  • Hampers & vouchers: Essentials delivered with choice-preserving vouchers where possible.
  • Signature activations: A Recipe for Impact united teams to provide hearty meals to 50 Cape Town communities.

Impact at a glance

  • 900,000+ meals served during Ramadan 1445 alone.
  • 50,000+ Ramadan & Fitrah hampers distributed; 20.2 tons of dates shared.
