Tuesday Trails Community Run 2020

ABOUT

The Tuesday Trails Community Run is about staying connected in these crazy isolation times, but it is also about reaching out and being part of the solution. This community is a powerful one and one that we believe can make a real difference.

We are supporting the Ladles of Love team, who are doing an incredible job feeding thousands of school children.

The national school feeding scheme, which 10 000 000 kids rely on to ensure at least one daily nutritious meal has been suspended due to Covid-19. The Western Cape is continuing their program, but not without problems and they are not able to reach all the schools. 

Ladles Of Love is a non-profit organization that feeds homeless members of our society across Cape Town since 2014. They run a soup kitchen four times a week and serve over 450 hearty and scrumptious meals to the homeless. Through their soup kitchens, they provide a platform for people who care to come together to feed the hungry and make a difference, "a bowl of soup may not sound like much, but it’s a lifeline to some". Their soup kitchens are about more than simply providing food; They're more about dignity, respect and creating the kind of world we all want to live in. Ladles Of Love normally serves +/- 12000 meals per month, but due to the coronavirus they have ramped up from 450 meals average a week to 2000 meals a day.  

Ladles have linked up with Constantia CAN to take responsibility to feed 3 of the 16 Cape schools they have identified as not being covered. As SolidariTT, we have committed our support to Ladles over the coming weeks to help them buy the fresh vegetables, grains and pulses they prepare for a nutritious meal for each child every day. Together we are going to support Chumisa Primary, Soyisile Primary and Sosebenza Primary...all looked after under 1 umbrella community organisation which is the local church. Constantia CAN will drop of food at the church every day and the church will manage the feeding of the kids.

We can do our part and sweat a little while we're at it. 

Your entry is a donation of any sort, but we thought we'd incentivize you to a goal distance of your choosing.

Enter yourself into the run, commit to a distance, then encourage your friends and family to donate/sponsor your run.

We will tally up the distance & donations and see how we did as a community.
