Meals on wheels driven by faith
A Christmas music concert will be hosted on December 7 to raise funds for the centre.
The Golden Singers will be hosting a Christmas music concert to raise funds for Anerley Service Centre Meals on Wheels on Thursday, December 7 at 09:30.
Everyone is invited. Entrance is free but all donations go towards the non-profit organisation.
The incredible group of singers are proof that one is never too old to make a difference. Some members are 80 years old and older, while lovely Marie Fourie is a remarkable 93-years-old.
Cheryl Oldfield, who has been running the organisation for the last 23 years is concerned about the future of the charity-based community service that depends on donations to exist.
“Faith is what is keeping Anerley Service Centre Meals on Wheels running the old fashioned way,” said Cheryl.
They deliver 2 000 meals (at a cost of R45 per meal) a month to the senior citizens living between Pumula and Port Shepstone, three times a week.
Oldfield explained that it’s not cost-effective to extend the area they deliver to due to the price of petrol.
“During Covid-19 we were given donations towards food, but that has dried up and everybody is struggling nowadays,” said Cheryl.
