The entry point. Goes into the daily work of collecting the food and getting it out again: fuel, hands, and the running of the mission. Less than a dollar a day.
Join as a PartnerBecome a Monthly Partner
78.9 Million Meals Delivered. Not One Rand Spent on Food.
For 31 years, retailers have donated the food. Your partnership moves it from their shelves to families' tables, across every community partner in the network. Every rand funds the logistics. None of it buys food, because the food is already free.
All named, all known
Your Partnership Isn’t a Logo. It’s a Place.
Each kitchen has a name, a leader, and a community. When you become a Monthly Partner, you keep all of them running.

Where your money goes
You Deserve a Line Item, Not a Black Box.
Most charities have to spend a large share of their budget buying food. We don't. Ours is rescued from retailers who would otherwise discard it. That changes the maths, and it means we can show you the whole of it.
Without the rescue, this food would have gone to landfill. Your dollar isn't buying a meal. It is intercepting waste before it happens.

How your money reaches families
Collected Today. On a Plate Tomorrow.
Retailers donate surplus
Checkers, Spar, Woolworths, Food Lover's Market, and Food Forward SA. Every week. Free.
Our team collects it
Our vehicles leave Tongaat before it gets light and are seldom back before 4pm.
We sort it the next morning
The food is sorted at the base, and our partners collect it around 9am.
Partners feed that day
Each partner feeds its own community the same day. We also feed our own community in Tongaat every weekday.
Choose a Partnership Tier
Named Tiers. Real Line Items. Start Anywhere.
Each tier maps to a real cost. We don’t ring-fence your giving to one person or one kitchen. It goes into the operation, and the operation serves every partner in the network. Every tier is a standing commitment, because hunger is not a one-off.
Maintenance Partner
$50/ mo
R1,000 / month
Keeps the mission station standing and the storeroom stocked. Gas, soap, utensils, cleaning materials, and the repairs a working base needs. None of it is glamorous. None of it can stop.

You guys impact many lives. We thank God for you. Stay blessed.

Praise God in His faithfulness to provide. Praying that Missions Ablaze will continue to be a blessing to all those in need.
One of the most humble men we know. Thank you Tinus, for giving to the Lord.

Questions donors ask first
Short Answers. Full FAQ One Click Away.
Every honest question a first-time donor asks, answered plainly.
Diesel, vehicles, electricity, kitchen supplies, and the people called to this work. The food is donated, so not one cent of your giving buys food. About $4,175 a month covers the whole operation.
Fuel, hands and the daily running of the mission. It is where most of our Monthly Partners start.
Yes. Monthly is pre-selected because it is more sustainable for the mission, but a once-off donation is always welcome.
31 years of relationships with major retailers aren't easy to replace. If supply tightens, we tighten: fewer kitchens, fewer meals, never zero. The model has survived Covid, the 2021 riots, the 2022 floods, and the 2024 tornado.
The work doesn't pause
Start Anywhere. From $25 a Month.
Every morning, someone gets into a kombie. Every evening, a family eats. That cycle runs on partners, and on the same conviction Tinus carried off a building site in 1995: no one should go to bed hungry.
