Post a Can/Sandwich ready to assist NPOs
Since they started the initiative in July, they assisted charity organisations such as Chubby Chums, Kuselo Child and Youth Care Services, St Francis Care Centre, Kids Haven and Urban Ruins
The Post a Can/Sandwich initiative will be doing its first charity collection for 2021 on February 6 in front of SUPERSPAR on Rietfontein Road.
Volunteers from the project will collect non-perishable foods such as baked beans for an NPO between 10am and noon.
A group of friends initiated the project to assist charity organisations during the pandemic by collecting non-perishable foods.
Since they started the initiative in July, they assisted charity organisations such as Chubby Chums, Kuselo Child and Youth Care Services, St Francis Care Centre, Kids Haven and Urban Ruins.
According to one of the volunteers, Natalina da Conceicao, the group is now collecting donations at the SPAR every first Saturday of the month.
“We used to collect donations every Saturday. However, it became too taxing on the local community. Now we’re doing a collection once a month. We will do more collections if another grocery store will allow us to stand in front of their store for two hours to gather donations.
“Furthermore, we started a Post a Cake initiative where we approach bakeries to donate cake, which will be distributed to a centre on our list,” she explained.
The volunteer thanked the community for helping them make a success of the initiative.
“We would like to thank everybody who supported us. We couldn’t have done it without their assistance,” she added.
