Sharing for good
Shoprite and local celebrities are doing their bit to help the less fortunate this festive season.
SHOPRITE and #ShareForGood had a busy weekend in KZN when Sharks players Ruan Botha, Etienne Oosthuizen and Tera Mtembu donated 100 10 litre non-perishable food buckets to Bobbi Bear, and actress Jessica Nkosi from Isibaya fame split her donation between the Choc Childhood Cancer Foundation and the Natal Settlers Memorial Homes.
This festive season the Shoprite supermarket chain will donate almost 2 000 buckets filled with non-perishable food to the value of R200 000 to various charities and communities in need as part of its annual #ShareForGood campaign.
A number of influential personalities have committed themselves to #ShareForGood, including comedians Marc Lottering and Tol Ass Mo, Umhlobo Wenene presenter Mafa Bavuma, Dolphins cricketer Cameron Delport and others. They will each donate 100 buckets to an organisation or cause of their choice, and hopefully their kind work and efforts will inspire others to do the same this festive season.
“Every South African can do their bit by filling a bucket with non-perishable food according to their means, and donate it to those in need while encouraging friends and family to do the same,” said Neil Schreuder, marketing director of Shoprite Checkers.
