A R45 meal-mix can feed up to six people handsomely.When the going gets tough, the tough get going, South Africans are a resilient bunch and when challenge knocks at the door, innovation is the inevitable output.
A R45 meal-mix can feed up to six people handsomely said Jaques Swart, a former aviation catering specialist who, along with his friend and partner, tradesman Vincent Hunt, have set their sights on easing the pressures on households come mealtime. Swart said: “We were just scrolling on Facebook when we came across Food Sock. And it seemed like a brilliant idea to help people better afford getting a plate of food in front of their families.
Swart said that it has been an amazing journey until now, and what really surprised him, pleasantly, was the number of customers in the community who are purchasing products simply to give away. “There are hundreds of people who are sustaining families that cannot afford to survive anymore,” he said. “We get requests daily from people who simply want to give, to help others. It’s been an incredibly uplifting experience to be able to facilitate this in a small way.
