Carnival City once again joined hands with Rise Against Hunger to pack meals for hungry children in underprivileged communities today (Wednesday) – July 18.
The food packing drive is part of a nationwide effort between Sun International and Rise Against Hunger to mark International Mandela Day.
Teams of volunteers rolled up their sleeves to pack food parcels at eight Sun International units, with the goal to pack 418 000 meals to feed over 59 000 pre-school children for a year.
About 69 000 meals will be packed at Carnival City.
