Since March, many businesses have shown selflessness by sharing their resources, love, and time to support their communities. We've highlighted the work of a few companies but there are many others out there that are doing incredible things for their community.
Loka Padang to the rescue
A restaurant based in Jakarta, Loka Padang initiated it's #BerbagiLoka campaign to help the marginalized by distributing plant-based meals and care packages. Since April this year, they've upped their community support and have already given away more than 3000 vegan meals, over 200kg of rice and more than 100 Loka Care Packages, which consists of essential food supplies. At the moment, they're inviting sponsors, partners, and clients to support them as they prepare to donate even more care packages and vegan meals.
Help raise $8000 to give protein-rich meat substitute to children
Hakeem, the owner of the first vegan restaurant in Nigeria, Veggie Victory, is raising funds to provide protein-rich meat-alternatives to children living in foster villages to make food accessible to them amidst a countrywide lockdown. These young children often fall into the category of people living under the poverty line, which makes supporting them through food donations that much more crucial. You can help and donate here.
Serving up some kindness
When Janse & Co had to temporarily close their doors due to Covid, Chefs Arno Janse and Liezl Odendaal thought of spending their time doing good for the community. They teamed up with Ladles of Love, a volunteer-run charity that serves food to the homeless. Each day the chefs and volunteers cook around 2,000 to 2,500 meals a day!

Going Beyond
