Join Africa Food for Thought!
Africa Food for Thought relies heavily on volunteers to assist us with our operations. Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our mission, and their dedication and support make a significant impact in the lives of those we serve. We invite you to become part of our volunteer community, whether you are an individual, a corporate team, or a student looking to fulfill community service hours.

Corporate Volunteers
Are you a company or organization looking to give back to the community? Africa Food for Thought welcomes corporate volunteers who are committed, adaptable, and generally available during weekday mornings. We value skills-based volunteering as well as having "an extra set of hands." Your team can play a crucial role in helping us achieve our goals, and we would love for you to get in touch so we can place you in the most appropriate role.
Individual Volunteers
If you're an individual looking to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others, we encourage you to join us as an individual volunteer. Your time and dedication are invaluable to us, and there's a place for everyone in our community. Whether you have specific skills to contribute or simply want to lend a helping hand, your support will be deeply appreciated.

We understand the importance of community service hours for students. Africa Food for Thought offers a welcoming environment for students who need to fulfill their community service requirements. We provide a fulfilling and supportive space for you to make a positive impact while gaining valuable experience.

Tinned and Long-Life Foods

Colour a Brighter Easter
Thank you for supporting Africa Food for Thought in our annual Easter Campaign!
We need your help to make sure the children that we support feel loved this Easter. By printing and colouring the pages attached, you will give a boost to a child when they receive their chocolate egg. Feel free to do only one page, or as many as you like! We ask that you take a clear scan of the completed page, and email it back to us by the 11th of April. We will then print the pages and stick them on our chocolate marshmallow eggs. These eggs will be distributed among the projects we support. The children love reading the messages on each egg and knowing that someone special was thinking of them!
You can also donate a box of eggs, either by dropping them off at our office, or by making a financial donation with the reference “eggs” via PAYFAST - CLICK HERE
We appreciate your support and look forward to receiving your completed artwork!
