SUFFICIENT, NUTRITIOUS FOOD IS A BASIC HUMAN RIGHT
The lack of food security is one of the most urgent crises facing our country today.
Every day 18 million South African men, women and children go to bed hungry.
We live in a country that produces an abundance of fresh, nourishing food that could feed all our citizens, but one of the central problems
is that 10 million tons of food goes to waste every year.
SA Harvest is creating a food rescue and distribution platform that will ultimately enable us to realise our mission to ensure that every South African is able to access adequate nutritious food on a daily basis. This platform is based on four pillars – food rescue, education, engagement and innovation.
Eliminating hunger and food waste through the redistribution of quality surplus food underpins everything we do. Our modus operandi is unique in South Africa as we use refrigerated vehicles, which means we can deliver PERISHABLE as well as NON-PERISHABLE food, enabling our recipient organisations to get a sufficient variety of food to provide full and nourishing meals to their people.
Raising awareness about food waste, food rescue, food security and nutrition, and driving a process that helps people to become food self-sufficient through sustainable and appropriate educational programmes and technologies.
Involving the community in reducing food waste and alleviating hunger. This is achieved mainly via a programme of volunteering where people and corporations donate their time to SA HARVEST’s efforts in the community.
As innovators in the food rescue space we constantly look for new solutions to combat food waste and hunger in South Africa.

The story of the SA Harvest trucks
Our refrigerated trucks are a central and vital part of the SA Harvest story. They allow us to deliver - not just food, but nutrition, kindness, care, relief, solutions, sustenance, connection and hope. They keep the food we rescue safe while it's in transit and they help us to get it where it's needed the most.

Can’t wait for ours to be delivered 🎉
It's always a happy day when we get to welcome a new beneficiary to the SA Harvest family - and today brought a truckload of joy to our team and an equally big truckload of nutritious food to Philippi.
Our Cape Town harvesters dropped off the first of what will be many deliveries to the amazing Good Food Solutions in Philippi Village, who were introduced to us by UCOOK. We're looking forward to many more happy days delivering to this special part of Cape Town!

If you've ever considered the benefits of going vegan (or vegetarian), Veganuary is the time to give it a go! Ýou'll be among more than 540 000 people worldwide who've signed up to go vegan for January - the highest number since Veganuary launched in 2004.
At SA Harvest, we're all for the health and environmental benefits of a more plant-based diet. And delivering nutrition in the form of vegetables to our beneficiaries is one of our biggest drivers. You could say we're vocal about veggies!
If you're keen to commit to a month of meat-free eating, there are plenty of recipes to give you inspiration on the Veganuary website. We love this one - a yummy courgette ribbon lasagne by Chef Peter Ayub.

It's a well-documented fact that gratitude makes you happier, healthier and more likely to be successful. In our world of rescuing food and fighting hunger, we have bountiful blessings to be grateful for, and we've decided to keep a gratitude diary to record the many people, places and things we count as blessings.
Keeping a grateful diary helps to keep you focused on what's important and the abundance that surrounds you. With all the turmoil in our lives right now it can start to feel like the world is crashing down around you. These are the moments when journaling about the things you're grateful for matters the most. Although it might sound strange, the act of writing down your blessings increases your optimism, provides perspective and multiplies the good! Watch this space to see all our grateful diary entries... 💛📝
