DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Feed 67 people for Mandela Day for only R225</strong
 ></p><p>We have launched a 27\,000 meal Mandela Day in conjunction with th
 e Kolisi Foundation and Zelda Le Grange.  At the Brewery in Hemel en Aarde
 \, 27\,000 meals will be delivered to celebrate Mandela's legacy.  For onl
 y R225 you can feed 67 people with nutritional soup.  Please hit the donat
 e button to feed the most in need.</p><p><br></p><p>The Brewers Soup Colle
 ctive is a non-profit company (NPC) consisting of breweries in South Afric
 a who are repurposing their brewery equipment to produce food for our most
  vulnerable communities.</p><p>Breweries nationwide were sitting idle due 
 to severe\, prohibition style laws as part of the Covid-19 government resp
 onse. A group of innovative brewers\, saw the potential to address the ra
 pidly growing humanitarian hunger crisis. Our mash tuns\, usually used to 
 make beer\, are the ideal vessels to make large quantities of soup.</p><p>
 Pallets of vegetables are sourced directly from the market at the best dai
 ly rates. At the brewery a team of dedicated volunteers prepare the veget
 ables in multiple daily shifts. Product development is ongoing\, overseen
  by qualified nutritionists\, head chefs and of course South Africa’s am
 azing craft brewers.</p><p>An average craft brewery\, is capable of brewin
 g 10\,000 portions of nutritious soup per day.</p><p>The BSC works with go
 vernment\, established NGOs and local leaders to identify and access the v
 ulnerable and at risk communities. The more breweries that join\, the grea
 ter our ability to confront the growing hunger.</p><p>Prior to Covid-19\, 
 our country had reached an unprecedented 29% unemployment. With lockdown 
 in place\, this number is growing exponentially\, with the after effect la
 sting potentially many years. The result being hunger. It’s estimated 
 that 8 million children </p><p>By repurposing the breweries to produce so
 up\, we are creating a sustainable feeding solution\, keeping jobs and the
  South African craft brewery industry from folding.</p><p>Please join us s
 upporting this amazingly creative initiative.</p><p><br></p>
