It appears the hard work by the team of volunteers at the Reiger Park Crisis Centre’s community vegetable garden has not gone unnoticed.
Shoprite is featuring the centre’s vegetable garden team on its truck fleet, putting the team and the community at large on the map as the trucks criss-cross the South African towns and countryside.
The vegetable garden at the centre feeds hundreds of families, including children from underprivileged families in the township.
The centre manager, Elaine Appies, said she and the team at the centre are over the moon about being featured on the trucks.
“I hope being featured on the trucks will send out a good and positive message about the good work carried out by the centre,” said Appies.
