In South Africa, the statistics are staggering: 16.3 million* people face the threat of hunger, while one third and a half of the food produced in our country ends up in landfill. For decades, Woolworths has been working towards creating a positive impact to alleviate hunger in South Africa, as access to food is a fundamental human right whose absence truly highlights inequalities in a society. We align with the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 of a #ZEROHUNGER FUTURE by 2030 as one of the ways we bring meaning to our Inclusive Justice commitment and ensure that we LEAVE NO ONE BEHIND.

To promote access and inclusion, Woolworths is committed to empowering young agripreneurs, farmers, women, youth with disabilities and food-stressed communities. By supporting local organisations, we help them grow more food, build livelihoods and strengthen food security. In this season of giving, we invite you to join us in making a difference by donating to The Woolworths Trust. Together, we can alleviate hunger and create lasting change – every bit helps!
