THE Association for the Aged (Tafta) is promising patrons an evening of glamour and grandeur at their first ever fundraising Gala Dinner on Friday, 21 September in commemoration of the association’s 60th birthday. Well-known celebrity, radio presenter and comedian, Darren Maule, will host the event at the Elangeni Hotel.
“Through the Night of Diamond theme, Tafta seeks this year to invest in the association’s commitment to providing nutritious, balanced meals to Durban’s elderly, both under Tafta’s roof and to the greater Durban community through its long-standing Meals on Wheels programme. Our meal programme extends to elders in Tafta homes and in the community – who are housebound or who no longer can cook for themselves. We prepare convenient ready-to-eat meals, which are delivered to the homes of the elderly or housebound. The meals prepared provide essential nourishment that elders require,” said Shaman.
“Escalating food prices continue to impact on the elderly. Tafta’s meal programme aims to relieve the stress of high food costs on elders. We are constantly looking to communities and corporates to help extend our reach to elders who are constantly in need of our care by supporting our fundraising initiatives such as this year’s gala dinner event,” says Tafta’s Income Development, Marketing and Public Relations Manager Gail Samuels.
