A New Collaboration
In South Africa today, the hunger landscape is shifting faster than ever. Over 18 million people experience hunger daily, and the number of households under food stress continues to rise. Food insecurity is now one of the top priorities for 60% of corporate CSI programmes, yet only 9% of all nationwide CSI spend currently reaches food and hunger causes.
At the very same time, 10 million tonnes of surplus food move through the food system each year, much of it never reaching people who need it. This is the gap SA Harvest exists to close. And this is why our new partnership with still good matters so deeply.
still good operates in a critical pressure point of the food chain, where food is still perfectly edible, but at risk of being lost due to timing, overproduction, mislabelling, or short dating.
Their model brings dignity, affordability, and access into the same conversation, and together, we’re building a pathway where surplus becomes nourishment, not waste.
Keeping Households Out of the Food Insecurity Pool
One of the most powerful impacts of still good’s model is its ability to help prevent families from slipping into the growing demand side of the hunger equation.
Every household that stabilises is one fewer household entering an already strained hunger support system, and this reduces pressure on SA Harvest’s CBO network, allowing us to focus resources where the need is deepest.
Fuelling Food Rescue Operations
As one of still good’s chosen charity beneficiaries, SA Harvest receives support that arrives at a critical moment. With more households falling into food stress each month, their contribution helps us remain responsive, resilient, and able to reach those who need us most.
This is not symbolic. This is catalytic support that directly increases the volume of food we can rescue before it is lost.
What This Partnership Unlocks
This collaboration is not about campaigns or optics. It’s about redesigning how food moves through the system so that:
Together, SA Harvest and still good are demonstrating a simple truth: food should feed people, not landfills, and dignity should sit at the centre of every solution.
We are proud to be #doinggood, while it’s #stillgood.
