Bridging the Gap: The Carroll Shaw Memorial Center Food Bank
The Carroll Shaw Memorial Center Food Bank operates under a distinct philosophy compared to traditional models. Unlike a money bank that accumulates resources, our food bank acts as a bridge, swiftly distributing incoming donations directly to those experiencing food insecurity. This unwavering commitment to immediate action stems from a simple truth: poverty demands urgent solutions.
This initiative, birthed by the Gauteng Provincial Government’s social development department, aimed to create sustainable livelihoods. Tested successfully at the Carroll Shaw Memorial Center, it expanded to encompass Sedibeng, Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, and Johannesburg, echoing the UN’s Millennium Development Goal of eradicating poverty.
Entrusted with this crucial mission, the Carroll Shaw Memorial Center, with its deep community roots, was chosen as the non-profit spearhead. We identify communities most in need, and the department assesses households before we deliver food parcels.
