Is a registered Not For Profit company, founded in 2020 in response to the humanitarian crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is an initiative based on a collaboration between organisations and individuals whose greatest wish is to alleviate the hunger and suffering of South Africa in every city where its network of chefs, kitchens, beneficiaries and supporters takes root.
The founding partners are NOSH Food Rescue NPC (NOSH), the South African Chefs Association (SA Chefs), Slow Food International, the Slow Food Chefs Alliance SA, and Strategic Public Relations.
OUR EARLY BEGINNINGS
OUR MISSION
We transform produce that would otherwise have gone to landfill into delicious, nourishing meals through the skills and compassion of a network of chefs in centres around the country, by leveraging relationships with farmers, agents, markets, retailers, wholesalers, producers, manufacturers and organisations.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to bring together chefs, volunteers, kitchens, fresh produce suppliers and beneficiaries in a collaborative network that delivers wholesome and nutritious meals to those in need.
OUR STATISTICS
Since the 7th of April, Chefs with Compassion has been feeding thousands of hungry people with surplus rescued produce
OUR VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are the lifeblood of Chefs with Compassion – both those working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the network together in a well-oiled humanitarian machine, to the men and women whose relationships with farmers and fresh produce agents provide the ingredients to nourish the needy, to the chefs who heed the call to get behind the stoves and apply their skills to doing what they love to do – feed people.
