Charity profile

Our vision is to feed the needy and hungry people in a humane way.

Feeding in Action is a non-profit organisation that provides meals and food supplies to over 5000 people each week. With the help of our 300 volunteers we provide over 12 000 meals and 1000 food parcels each week.

Help end food insecurity. Those we feed have no other available food source and quite often we supply their only meal of the day.

Become one of our 300 volunteers or donate today.
