Dole contributes towards social upliftment

The products include Dole Fruit Cups, Fruit Snacks and Pineapple Juice and are being distributed through the Food Bank in the Western Cape. The Food Bank is an organisation that donates and delivers food to various homes, shelters and non-profit organisations.

The handover of the products commenced at The Ark on Friday, 17 February. The Ark, located near Khayelitsha is a shelter for the homeless, unemployed, abandoned and addicted women, children and men. Feeding over 750 individuals a day, The Ark is one of the largest of its kind in the Western Cape.

"The Ark is an inspirational organisation and one that we are proud to support," says Gerald Gant, managing director of Dole South Africa. "Our pre-packaged products contain no artificial flavours, colouring or preservatives, and are a healthy option for these individuals who might struggle with receiving adequate nutrition in their daily lives."
