SA Harvest has raised approximately R1.4 million through its 2025 Buckets of Nutrition festive season campaign, supporting ongoing food relief efforts for vulnerable families in Nelson Mandela Bay and surrounding communities in the Eastern Cape.

Now in its third year, the Buckets of Nutrition campaign responds to heightened food insecurity during the December school holiday period, when thousands of children temporarily lose access to daily meals provided through the National School Nutrition Programme.

The Eastern Cape remains one of South Africa's most food-insecure provinces, with children among those most affected.

Through partnerships with established community organisations running holiday feeding programmes, SA Harvest has reached approximately 1,400 families to date.

Each food bucket, valued at around R1,000, contains essential staples and basic household items designed to support families during a period of increased vulnerability and reduced household income.
