Help Rata feed hungry families

Their 13 offices, one of which is in Brakpan, have indicated a need for 300 food parcels per week and it is heart-wrenching to turn away many hungry families.
With the assistance of the community, they would be in a position to really make a difference in the lives of many more children and families.
Their aim is to raise 300 food combos consisting of a 6kg veggie bag, a bag of 2,5kg maize meal and 1kg veggie soup.
You can support them by purchasing a combo on the We Can website for only R72 and make your contribution towards 14 400 meals.
