Speaking at the handover ceremony at Jairos Jiri centre, Pastor Felix said they will be assisting vulnerable families across the country.
“The foundation has so far distributed food aid in seven areas of Harare we are giving 10 kilograms of mealie meal and food hampers,” he said.
“We did not start this because of the COVID-19 pandemic, its part of our philanthropic mission,” he added.
The foundation is also identifying schools and paying fees.
Hatfield Member of Parliament Tapiwa Mashakada extended his appreciation of the gesture.
“This is a relief to those who have been affected by the lockdown.
“On behalf of the people of Hatfield we want to thank the foundation for the food aid,” he said.
“The food aid is not of the Zanu-PF or MDC people it’s for all of us regardless of which party you belong to, “Mashakada said.
