Christmas Feed the City – Five Years of Love in Action
For the past five years, the Christmas Feed the City Campaign has been more than an annual event — it has become a sacred moment where compassion meets action.
Each year, our branches, staff, and volunteers come together with one heart and one purpose. We prepare a hearty Christmas meal — roast chicken, vegetables, fresh bread, juice, and a sweet dessert — cooked with care, prayer, and love. Alongside the meals, we carefully pack pre-loved clothing, folded and prepared individually for a person, restoring dignity one parcel at a time.
We then take to the streets of Johannesburg CBD, Hillbrow, Jeppestown, Fordsburg, and Fietas — feeding those living under bridges, on the streets, in manholes, and in condemned buildings. People often forgotten by society. People living without hope, without love, without a sense of belonging.
The purpose is simple yet profound:
to remind them that they are not forgotten
that they are seen
that they are worthy of something good — even if it is just a warm plate of food
It is not only the meal that matters.
It is the effort, the heart, the love, and the prayers poured into every step — from preparation to serving.
As Jesus Christ said, “Whatever you did for one of the least of these, you did for Me.”
He came to serve.
He came to seek and to save the lost, the forgotten, and the hopeless.
This is who we follow.
This is why we serve.
Christ in us — the Hope of Glory.
