Much needed relief arrives for people living with disabilities in Alex
ALEXANDRA -– Covid-19 stricken members of Ithabeleng Organisation for Disability get much-needed food relief from the Department of Tourism in Pretoria.
The Department of Tourism in Pretoria has brought much-needed relief and cheer to disabled members of Ithabeleng Organisation for Disability (IO4D) when it delivered 30 food parcels comprising groceries and other perishables.
The organisation’s communications officer Tiisetso Matsheletja thanked the department for the donation, saying it would go a long way to put some smiles on the members’ faces who have been severely affected by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown that resulted in job losses.
“Some of the people who lost their jobs were breadwinners for these members and life has been very tough for them. We hope the department can do the same for other organisations that look after the less fortunate,” she said.
Included in the food parcels were items such as rice, maize meal, toothpaste, macaroni, sugar, tea bags, cooking oil, peanut butter, tin food and sanitary pads.
