About Blisters for Bread Family Fun Walk

Now in its 48th year, the Blisters for Bread Charity Family Fun Walk was set up by the Peninsula School Feeding Association to raise funds and awareness for the plight of hungry learners in the Western Cape. The organisation which to date, has served 1,5 billion meals is driven and inspired by the statement “you can’t teach a hungry child”, currently feeding over 28,000 children at 155 schools daily – for many learners the only hot meals they get in a day. Schools in the programme report improved academic results and morale as a result of these nutritious meals.

How your company can donate

Even if your company in not based in the Mother City you can still come on board to support the pressing issue of hunger in our schools, via donations which will assist in building kitchens, buying gas bottles, paying volunteers and other hard costs. A donation of only R395 can make all the difference to a little one by giving them breakfast and lunch at school for a whole year.
