Project Dog's story

Waiting for a forever home



All the dogs that Project Dog look after receive as much love as possible. Volunteers and part time staff visit and walk the dogs several times a week. The dogs are looked after by foster parents wherever possible and some spend time in kennels.

Project Dog is passionate about finding every homeless dog a new best friend. Meanwhile they clean their kennels, wash their blankets and give them meals to keep them as happy as possible.

Happiness for the Disabled



Every day each member of this group is dropped off at one of FoodForward SA's beneficiaries for disabled people. They learn new skills, do corporate contract work when it is available and enjoy a lunch prepared for them.

Irene's story

Irene loves what she does



Every day Irene makes elderly people happy.  She and her helpers serve everyone a delicious meal so they never feel hungry.


She provides the elderly with the opportunity to do things they are good at and supplies a place where they feel happy and at home and can be with friends.

Julie loves to knit
From the time he was a small boy, Aleck and his Mom spent most of their time on their own, so she taught him how to sew.  Every day he looks forward to the time he spends at Irene's old age home because he gets to sew. He makes cushions and peg bags that they can sell to help with funds. 

Aleck loves to sew
A little while ago, on Mandela Day, Irene went across the road and said to the elderly men who were sitting outside the bottle store that if they visited her old age home and helped with the garden, she would give them a meal. Today, they spend every day there because they enjoy being sober and helpful and spending time with the friends they have made.


Irene happily and proudly took the old age home over from her Grandmother, after whom she is named :)
