About Us
Spreading the Love is a non-profit organization that was started by Lizelle Oosthuizen-Anderka in 2014, delivering food parcels from her own kitchen to families who had lost their main stream of income. This grew into the Rescue House for babies and toddlers, abused woman, men, homeless people as well as animals. Wherever we see a need for food, clothes, toys, blankets, medicine etc, we give to where it is needed from what we have collected from donations received.
Our aim is to provide nutritious and satisfying food to anyone who is hungry, whether they are struggling households or people who are homeless, sick or vulnerable. We believe that no hungry person should ever be turned away. Our organization focuses only on people where there is no state subsidies or alterative income.
These are the cases that society forgets about and this is where we want to make a difference.
​
Currently under our permanent wing we have:
-
54 Babys (Some in place of safety, some still with their parents);
-
49 Toddler(Some in place of safety,some still with their parents);
-
7 Children max between the ages 1 to 15jr at our personal house “Soft Landings Crisis House”in Montana (the number of children differs all the time due to them placed at forever after happy homes)

17 Disabled Children to whom we supply aduld nappies, Ensure supplement and foodparcels;

At our Community Centre in Danville Pretoria we normally give bread/a meal to 350 people per day but since the Covid 19 epidemic the row of people coming for food has increased to sometimes 700 people waiting for the daily meal that we supply.
