Volunteering with Ladles of Love
Ladles of Love, Love Activists, is a volunteer force for good in our local communities. With thousands of dedicated, passionate volunteers across Cape Town and Johannesburg, we are able to impact positive change in our communities.
Our Love Activists – those who give of themselves, expecting nothing in return – show up at our programmes daily, from young to old, scholars, corporates, stay-at-home-parents. Our Love Activist programme gives people of all ages – from all walks of life – the opportunity to be part of something greater than themselves.
Our programmes are driven by our Love Activists and you can easily be part of this force.

Come and experience our Dignity Kitchens in Cape Town and Johannesburg which provide hundreds and hundreds of destitute and displaced people with healthy hot meals served by volunteers weekly.
Important notice: Ladles of Love depends on volunteers to prepare and serve food at our Dignity Kitchens. If you register for a time slot, it’s essential to honor your commitment, as no-shows affect our ability to serve meals to those in need.
If you need to cancel, please notify us immediately via email at volunteers@ladlesoflove.org.za or WhatsApp at (CPT) +2771 747 7311. or (JHB) +2768 647 5642 This allows us to fill your slot promptly and maintain smooth operations.
Thank you!

Join the fun at our weekly pop ups across the Cape Peninsula where we collect our member’s full composting buckets (with lids so no smellys) – and also sell fresh vegetables from our Urban Farmers simultaneously!
