The notion of giving without boundaries has been displayed by the community of Modderfontein, Edenvale and Greenstone through the Ward 32 Food Drive recently.
Due to limited economic activity during the lockdown, many people were left with no means to provide for their families.

Ward 32 Clr Bongani Nkomo sent out a call for donations during level 5 of lockdown and the community responded in a supportive and exemplary way.
Edenvale’s Hillside Methodist Church also joined the effort to provide food parcels.
Reverend Brian Hutton said he celebrates the church community’s willingness to serve others in this way.
The food parcels from the church were handed over to Aurelie Kalenga from Radio 702.
She received the parcels on behalf of Congolese refugees.
