Ladles Of Love Inspires Joy And Impact Through Mandela Day Community Service Projects

"Volunteering as a team on Mandela Day is about building community, strengthening workplace wellness and igniting a culture of ubuntu that can uplift our nation. At Ladles of Love, we believe volunteering is more than just a good deed — it's a civic duty and a powerful form of active citizenship. The upside of this is the joy and happiness that doing good brings to people who love physically doing something meaningful that will make a difference to a little one in need," says Yolanda Jones, Ladles of Love Programme Director.

Ladles of Love's Mandela Day events provide volunteer activation stations with all materials supplied to make items to nourish, nurture and grow preschool small children in underserved communities. Furthermore, Ladles of Love says that with every R250 ticket purchased, a child will receive two nutritious meals a day for a month, and for this donation, businesses can request an 18A Tax certificate.

Ladles of Love says that to book tickets, interested parties can visit its website and select a city and choose from four Activation Zones: MAKE, CREATE, CRAFT and GROW.

According to the organisation, time-slot options include:

• 09:00 to 11:00
• 11:00 to 13:00
• 13:00 to 15:00, and
• 15:00 to 17:00. 

For corporate packages over 30 pax, Ladles of Love says it provides a concierge booking service with value-added options such as: Custom-branded Mandela Day apparel, Hero Rolls catering, Exclusive team building areas and post-event CSI Impact study report. 

Danny Diliberto, Founder / CEO of Ladles of Love, concludes, "Making every day a Mandela Day for small children in need is how we can honour Nelson Mandela's legacy in 2025 and it starts with us rolling up our sleeves and working together to build a better and brighter future for all children in our country. It's time to be kind, be a love activist and be the change you want to see in the world."
