YOU CAN HELP!
You can donate any amount to the Pink Loerie Knysna Relief Fund Account (details below) to assist with disaster relief efforts in this fire stricken coastal town loved by so many.
As the home of the Pink Loerie, the LGBTQ+ community is heartbroken about what is happening in our favorite town. We want to show that Knysna means more to us than just a place to have fun and parade every year. We have had so many good times there and now need to lend a hand during these hard times. The people of Knysna need assistance with food, water, shelter, electricity, generators, blankets, clothes etc. Anything you can spare. Some have lost EVERYTHING they own. Knysna has been there for us over the past 17 years, it’s time for us to return the favor.
All food and clothes etc. donations can be dropped off at:
The Knysna Fire Department, Waterfront Drive, Knysna
or at
Metelerkamps, 3 Union Street, Waterfront Drive, Knysna (opposite Knysna Fire Department)
