A Chitungwiza-based church, Believers Hill Church (BHC), has embarked on a feeding programme targeting vulnerable groups in the community.

The project started last month.

BHC is led by Bishop Talent Dzangare Chiweshe, son of the late evangelist Phanuel Dzangare Chiweshe.

The church’s youth leader Pastor Tafadzwa Ndoro Jnr, who is also in charge of the Kitchen Soup project, said: “We want to develop a culture of showing love to the community because we know that God’s love has no boundaries.

“It is in this time of Covid-19 where most families are struggling to make ends meet. As the church, we feel we are obliged to a play a big role in helping the community.

“This time the number of beneficiaries has increased and we encourage those coming to get the food to always put on face masks.”

Caroline Dzangare Chiweshe said as a woman, she understands the situation obtaining in many households with regard to feeding families.

“l am a woman first before anything else and l understand how difficult life can be when you need your children to eat, but you are struggling to do that. That is why we are happy to be giving food to the community showing them agape love,” she said.

A beneficiary, Shantel Nyakudya, who stays in St Mary’s, expressed gratitude over what the church is doing.

“l am relieved because l know l just come and attend church with my family of seven and we get food. Sometimes we get food for just a day and on many occasions my children eat bread only because l cannot afford to buy sugar,” Nyakudya said.

“Most families, especially here in St Mary’s, face difficulties in getting food.”

The lockdown has worsened the situation as the majority of people are struggling to make ends meet.

The BHC kitchen soup is giving priority to the elderly and people with disabilities.
