We set out with a mountain to climb: the goal of serving 200,000 meals during the holy month of Ramadan. Today, we are humbled and overjoyed to announce that through your unwavering support, the dedication of our satellite kitchens, and the grace of the Almighty, we didn't just meet that goal—we exceeded it.

The Final Impact:

• Total Meals Served: 202,540
• Pots of Food Prepared: 668 (100L each)
• Fitrah Hampers Distributed: 175
• Shoprite Food Hampers: 200
• Eid Clothing Provided: Assisted over 500 individuals

From the first night of Taraweeh to the final Eid takbeers, Empowering Eats was on the ground in Parkwood, Manenberg, Phumlani, and beyond. Every pot stirred and every parcel delivered was a testament to our collective mission: Service to Others.

Looking Forward: The Road to 500,000

While we take a moment to celebrate this milestone, the need in our communities continues to grow. We have proven what is possible when we work together, and we aren't slowing down.

We are officially setting our sights on Ramadan 2027. Our new mission is our most daring yet: to serve 500,000 meals.

It is a bold leap, but with our active strategy and an expanding network of kitchens and volunteers, we know that half a million meals of hope are within reach.

A Message from the Empowering Eats Family

"Exceeding our target by 2,340 meals isn't just a statistic; it’s 2,340 more moments of relief and dignity for those who needed it most. Thank you for being the hands that help us feed the hungry."
