Almost entirely through the compassion of volunteer, chefs and community caterers, and through rescuing food that would otherwise go to waste, Chefs with Compassion has served over 2 million meals since May last year. As the food rescue organisation celebrates this significant milestone, it is also celebrating the announcement of a partnership with SYSPRO as technology partner.
As food rescue organisation Chefs with Compassion (CWC) celebrates its 2 million meal milestone since launching in May 2020, software company, SYSPRO, has announced a partnership aimed at reducing unnecessary food waste and alleviating hunger.
While millions of people around the world go hungry, it is hard to believe that around 30% of the world’s food is being wasted, with 10.3 million tons wasted in South Africa alone. There is no single solution that would end hunger within South Africa or across the globe. A challenge like this requires a collaborative effort.
Chefs with Compassion is a non-profit organisation that aims to rescue food, cook and feed hungry South Africans. Launched in May 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CWC has provided over 2.1 million meals across Gauteng and aims to continue as long as the need – and the supply of nutritious rescued food – remains.
“Producing over 2 million meals is an incredible feat and we could not be prouder to partner with an organisation like Chefs with Compassion. It is incredibly disheartening to see tons of food wasted each year, while thousands of South Africans are going hungry. We at SYSPRO are excited to see what we can bring to the table as we tackle the hunger crisis within South Africa,” says Angela Chandler, SYSPRO Sales and Branch Administrator.
