After two children arrived on her doorstep asking for bread in March 2020, Fynbos resident Pam Orie decided to use the little she had to help others.
The 38-year-old mother of two established her soup kitchen Hope 2 Feed More in September 2020.
As the name suggests, Orie hopes to feed more people.
“My friends and I were sitting outside watching the kids with nothing in their tummies playing, and that’s when we decided to club our last cents together to buy bread for the kids who daily ask for food,” said Orie, who has lived in Fynbos for 30 years.
