Established in 2009 to address widespread food insecurity in South Africa, FoodForward SA connects a world of excess to a world of need by recovering quality edible surplus food from the consumer goods supply chain and distributing it to underserved communities.

More than 80% of the food recovered is nutritious food. During the 2024/2025 financial year, we distributed 83 million meals and reached 935,000 people daily through a network of 2,500 Beneficiary Organisations, across South Africa. We achieved this at a cost per meal of only R0,50, due to the tremendous support from our donors, partners, and volunteers.
