The most recent violent protests and looting that has destroyed and devastated most parts of Durban has resulted in a food shortage across the province. With many stores left without stock, little to no distribution trucks and warehouses left desolated, there is a dire shortage of food in the area. 

With many locals in Durban having to queue for hours to access basic necessities such as bread, milk, vegetables, children’s formula and more – we have created a list of resources and organisations to donate monetary funds, food items and other necessities. 

Hope SA

Local non-profit organisation HopeSA is currently running a donations drive dedicated to supplying food supplies to residents in Durban. The donations will be used towards purchasing food items and necessities in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The organisation will be travelling with these goods to Durban via charted aircraft.

The donation details can be found in the post below.

For security reasons details about the drop off points will only be provided when you send them a direct message via Instagram.
