Join hands with Shoprite/Checkers #ActForChange: R5 can make a difference
Shoppers are invited to join hands with Shoprite and Checkers in their efforts to help flood victims recover from the devastating impact of the recent floods.
Shoppers can contribute to flood relief efforts by adding R5 or more to their grocery bill at till points in Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets.
The donations will go into the #ActForChange Fund, which was established in answer to the call by customers for a means to support communities in distress. All proceeds will be donated to Gift of the Givers to support the organisation’s extensive relief efforts in the flooded regions.
Shoprite and Checkers customers, through their contributions to the Act for Change Fund, helped to bring much needed relief at the time of the Knysna fires in 2017 and most recently during the drought in the Western and Eastern Cape. The current floods saw Shoprite’s Mobile Soup Kitchens immediately dispatched to affected areas and currently four soup trucks are each feeding up to 1000 people daily. Food, disposable nappies as well as blankets are among the items the retailer is distributing to those in need.
