Ghanaian culinary humanitarian, Chef Abbys, has led one of the largest privately organised feeding projects in the country, serving more than 20,000 people on the streets of Accra through her initiative, “The Big Street Feast.” The event ran under the inspiring theme, “Wherever you are, free food will find you.”
Speaking after the event, Chef Abbys said she felt deeply moved by the joy and gratitude she witnessed. “Our goal was simple to make everyone feel happy and loved. In every plate we served, we added a smile. We made sure no one was left out and that each person felt seen, cared for, and appreciated. That was the true foundation of The Big Street Feast,” she said.
Meals were served across four major locations Efua Sutherland Park, Fadama Astroturf, Madina Astroturf, and Kwabenya Market. In addition, seven Yango trucks delivered meals to ten distant communities, including Dome, Pokuase, Ablekuma, Dansoman, West Hills, Jamestown, Bukom, Spintex, Teshie, and Ashaley Botwe. A mobile food truck also toured parts of the city to reach those unable to visit the feeding points.
The massive effort was made possible through the support of partners such as Kivo, Yango, Everpack, Rafimex Company Ltd, Fairway Care, Lucozade, Perla, the Diaspora Affairs Office, and many others.
Sponsors included Don Simon, De Rio Farms, Nita’s Bakery, Roadman Grill, Laly’s Eatery, Steezer’s Kitchen, Joemens Popcorn, and several food brands and catering services that joined to make the event a success.
Through The Big Street Feast, Chef Abbys demonstrated how compassion, teamwork, and food can unite people one plate at a time.
