During the campaign, South Africa celebrated the first ever National Soup Day on 26 May 2011. The day aimed to mobilise South Africans to enjoy a bowl of soup and to come together and spare a thought for the millions of hungry people in the country.
FoodBank has a vision of 'A South Africa without hunger and malnutrition' and achieves this through its plan to feed people from food banks, operating food rescue and food procurement programmes in urban areas and in rural areas, to eliminate hunger and create jobs by making small farming viable.
