Buy a soup, share a meal: Pesto Princess targets R1 million in meals for Ladles of Love

702’s Bongani Bingwa speaks with founder of Pesto Princess Foods Kathleen Quillinan.

Did you know that buying a simple packet of soup from your local SPAR can help put warm meals in the hands of someone who needs it the most?

This is the result of a partnership between Pesto Princess Foods and a non-profit organisation, Ladles of Love.

Since 2017, they’ve donated over R850,000 to feed vulnerable adults and children. Now they’ve set their sights on hitting R1 million in donations.

“We built our business on the support of our loyal royals who can afford our nourishing food… what about those who can’t? It was natural for us to gravitate towards an organisation that is already doing that.” 

– Kathleen Quillinan, Founder – Pesto Princess Foods 

“For every soup a customer buys, a hot meal is given to a person through Ladles of Love. It is built into the price of the soup.” 

– Kathleen Quillinan, Founder – Pesto Princess Foods 

You can help by popping in to your local SPAR and looking out for the ‘Buy 1, Give 1’ yellow sticker.
