How did Ladles of Loveโs Dignity Kitchen start?ย It was serving one bowl of soup to a homeless man. During a fierce Cape Town winter in 2014, Danny Diliberto a local restaurateur – had a vision to perform an act of โsevaโ and cook food for the homeless community, which would touch the lives of people in need with love, dignity and respect. Danny rallied volunteers and his ย first soup kitchen on St Georges Mall served 70 meals to homeless people and seeing the incredible impact of a hot bowl of soup one destitute man, Danny founded Ladles of Love.
