This festive season, the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) calls on the community to be a gift to those affected by cancer.
Cansa has been a non-profit leader in the fight against cancer since 1931, enables research, educates the public, and advocates for and supports all people affected by cancer while leading SA towards a cancer-free society.
According to Isabel Gomes, the service admin specialist at Cansa, many people are struggling during this season and thus this call to be a helping hand to the next person.
The organisation appeals to the community to donate any non-perishable food items, toiletries, and/ or any sort of clothing which can be arranged for pickup or drop off with Isabel on 066 475 0149.
