“People are desperate and it is so hard to turn them away empty-handed. The society has been struggling before this pandemic and it is getting worse,” she said.
Chiliza said they are also desperately in need of children’s clothing aged from newborn to 12 years, food and nappies.
“Non perishable food will also be welcome as we also provide food parcels.”
Anyone who wish to assist the society can contact the office on 031 701 3288.
