Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation is taking feeding of the children seriously. They are going out of their way to fight hunger. They are busy moving into a hostel where most women and children are staying and fighting hunger. If it comes to feeding the children the Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation Team sees no boundaries. The Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation believes they can make a difference in the life of a needy child by feeding them.
Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation is partnering with breadline Africa, and the SoupaGroup in Woodstock Cape Town to fight hunger in the community. They are giving needy bread and soup daily. The communities of Woodstock, Salt River, and Observatory welcomed the initiative.
A local feeding scheme called the Golden Anchor Solid Rock Foundation is hosting a fundraiser so that they can keep on giving food to the homeless.
The 12-member group was started by friends Arlene Louw, 31, and Enrico Sampson, 34, who say they have personally experienced hardships of drug and physical abuse.
The pair who dropped out of university and recently returned to complete their N4 level of Mechanical Engineering: Fitting and Turning, found the need to serve their community when they discovered the “hordes” of homeless people living behind buildings in Observatory.
Arlene is the secretary of the project operating in Observatory, Salt River and Woodstock.
“The project started when homeless people were going door-to-door asking people for food during weekends,” she explains.
“By interviewing them their response was that most of the scrap yards are closed during weekends so they have no way to get money for food.
“We sustain the project through the contributions of our members. We received a once-off vegetable donation from Pick n Pay Observatory.”

The group will host a gala dinner on 13 December at 7pm at the Youth Centre in Shelley Road, Salt River.
