Targeted feeding programmes have been initiated following community based Nutrition surveillance projects in Spandau, Green Park, Grabouw, Worcester, DeDoorns and Khayelitsha, Cape Town.

More than 80% off all children participating in the programme are moderately to severely malnourished. Short term feeding support has benefited 30 families.

In the Eastern Cape, Operation Hunger participates in the daily feeding of approximately 1200 men and women and 600 children in the Port Elizabeth area. Soup kitchens have been established in Kwazakhele, Zwide, KwaDwesi, New Brighton, Motherwell, Well's Estate and Ramaphosa.

The principal beneficiaries are street children, HIV/AIDS orphans, needy adults, elderly persons awaiting grants, TB patients and persons living with AIDS. Community groups offering crèche and educare facilities are also assisted wherever possible.

The nationwide food collection drive undertaken by First National Bank employees went a long way to relieve hunger in many of the impoverished areas supported by Operation Hunger. Communities in the Ratlou District of the North West Province, Newlands and Port Elizabeth areas of the Eastern Cape and many communities in the Western Cape and Gauteng benefited specifically from this generous donation.
