All proceeds for this year’s event will once again go towards Tafta’s hot meal provision service; the Meals on Wheels programme.
“Meals on Wheels provides nutritiously prepared meals to elders, both in Tafta homes and in the community, who are housebound or who no longer can cook for themselves. They are ready-to-eat meals, which are conveniently delivered to the homes of the elderly or housebound, and provide them with the essential nourishment that they require. Food prices continue to escalate and through Tafta’s Meals and Wheels programme, we aim to relieve the stress of ongoing food costs for elders,” said Tafta’s income development, marketing and public relations manager, Gail Samuels.
Tafta is looking to communities and corporates to help extend its reach to elders who are constantly in need of care by participating at the golf event or through sponsorships. Corporate, individual, and team sponsorships opportunities are available.
Donations are welcomed and appreciated. All donations received toward the hot Meals and Wheels Programme will be eligible for a tax certificate.
