‘Do More’ to fulfill Madiba’s legacy

THE Do More Foundation has committed to provide one million Rainbow Chicken meals to South Africa’s most vulnerable children and communities on Mandela Day.

These meals will be provided between 13 and 18 July, in partnership with 329 soup kitchens that are affiliated to Meals on Wheels, Afrika Tikkun, Save the Children, the Department of Social Development and other organisations.

“It’s all about partnership and collaboration. That’s where South African people and businesses come in. Rainbow Chicken is providing us with 100 tons of chicken towards our Mandela Day effort, and there are many individuals and business that are putting up their hands to get involved – including long-standing partners like Mr Price, Phakisa, Ackermans and Buckman. With the help of even more fellow South Africans, we can and will do more,” said the Do More Foundation’s executive, Warren Farrer.

“It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when you look at rising unemployment and poverty statistics. If you think about the impact even a single meal can make, and you make a decision to help a few people in some way, you start to change the story. You give hope,” said Farrer.

Do More:
The local non-profit organisation calls on Highway residents to #GiveItUp to do more for Mandela Day by donating online at https://domore.org.za/.

Every R1 donated provides a meal. Help spread the word by sharing the #GiveItUp to DoMore campaign on social media and other platforms.

For more information on the #GiveItUp to DoMore campaign and how to get involved, visit the foundation’s website at domore.org.za/ or follow the Foundation on its social media platforms (domorefoundation).
