Fund meals
you can count

Choose an amount or a number of meals, pick the project, program or portfolio it feeds, and follow every meal live, from the order to the delivery, in your own donor dashboard.

HOW GIVING WORKS

Your gift becomes food, then a meal you can see

No pooled fund, no guesswork. Your gift buys Big Five Foods™ OnePot or porridge for the organisation you choose, and is counted only once it is paid.

01

You fund meals

Give an amount in rand or a number of meals. We show the packs, kilograms and cost per meal from the price list before you pay.

02

It is allocated to a project

The food is ordered for the project you chose, or the open project with the fewest meals so far when you pick where most needed, and delivered to the organisation.

03

You see the live impact

Meals ordered, delivered and served, photos and manager updates appear in your dashboard, with a PDF impact report you can download any time.
