Blisters for Bread 2024 Every step counts towards a hunger-free future!

by Oxford University Press | Aug 27, 2024 | Careers, Corporate Social Investment News

The Peninsula School Feeding Association (PSFA) hosted their 56^th annual Blisters for Bread Charity Family Fun Walk on Sunday, 25 August 2024, at the Green Point Cricket Club in Cape Town.

By purchasing 100 tickets, we enabled PSFA to provide 2 800 school children affected by poverty with a nutritious breakfast and lunch for an entire day. Staff joined thousands of Capetonians in walking either a 5km or 10km route along the scenic Sea Point Promenade to support this worthy cause.

Blisters for Bread is more than just a walk; it symbolises solidarity and a commitment to ensuring no child goes to school hungry. PSFA aims to raise awareness of childhood hunger and funds to provide nutritious meals to impoverished children at schools across the Western Cape

Every participant received a medal at the finish line. It was truly inspiring to see so many people come together for such a great cause and the energy was absolutely magnificent!

Every step counts towards a hunger-free future!
