Let’s thank our frontline workers
The community can bring us individual care packs or any of the items in bulk that we can share among the bags.
As you are aware our healthcare system is under immense pressure and frontline workers are working in challenging circumstances.
The Ridge Times team wants to partner with the community to show the frontline workers in the Covid-19 wards and emergency units at local hospitals and institutions that work with Covid 19 patients.
We aim to thank them for their hard work by giving each one a small care pack. Ideas to place into these packs are energy drinks, chocolate bars, Jelly Tots, hand cream or sanitiser, a bible verse and a cappuccino sachet.
The community can bring us individual care packs or any of the items in bulk that we can share among the bags.
We ask businesses to support this initiative. You can add your branding with the items.
These items can be dropped off at the Ridge Times offices in Secunda at the corner of Nelson Mandela Drive and Peter Wenning Street or Spicy Delights Take Away in Ghent Street, Evander, before 19 February.
Other businesses that are willing to be drop off points can contact us. We will be sure to mention you.

We also invite our readers to share their stories or their special thanks to someone on the frontline.
Give the person you admire or who has gone out of their way to help you during your Covid-19 ordeal, a special shout out by sending us the person’s name and why they are special.
