The Mug and Tree soup kitchen is situated in Krugersdorp in Gauteng and feeds at least 200 people every day. Its youngest member is a mere three weeks old, whilst the oldest is 85 years.
AxizWorkgroup launched the Winter Warmer initiative in June and gave employees the opportunity to donate non-perishable food and clothing. The official handover of the donations to Mug and Tree was made on Tuesday, 24 July at AxizWorkgroup's offices, and a sizeable amount of cash was also donated.
Owner of Mug and Tree, Trudie Naudé, has plans for expanding Mug and Tree's reach. She is in the process of opening up a pre-primary school, offering an aftercare service, as well as opening an orphanage for the children in the area.
