PE Brewery Can’t Make Beer So They’re Setting Up A Soup Kitchen

A Port Elizabeth brewery which can’t make beer right now because of current Lockdown regulations, is instead setting up a soup kitchen again to help feed hungry people during the second coronavirus wave in South Africa.

Richmond Hill Brewing Co announced at the end of December: “We would love to start our SOUP KITCHEN up again especially as we can’t brew beer right now.”

Since funds have dried up, the brewery has come up with a great idea to raise money for the vegetables needed in the soup. It is offering R100 raffle tickets to South Africans for one lucky winner to receive an “amazing 5 Course Gourmet meal cooked in the comfort of your own home by Chef Karyn”. The prize also includes a fabulous bottle of wine, as well as waitron and sommelier service!

ALL the funds raised are being used to purchase veggies to help feed the hungry, says the brewery.

By 5 January they had already sold 56 tickets, and have asked followers to “help us get to 100 tickets”.

On Thursday the soup kitchen received a donation of a bakkie load of vegetables! “? We still need potatoes ? if anyone can spare a few bags it all helps ?,” said Richmond Hill Brewing Company.

They also thanked Waldo Nel and the team at Allcut Power products who have loaned them their chipper to speed up the veggie-peeling production on Sundays for the Soup Kitchen.
