Local NPO graced with a new bakkie after 10 years of waiting
The NPO supply and deliver groceries and food parcels to the needy in surrounding areas like Witbank Dam, Clewer and Balmoral.
“We have been longing for this bakkie for 10 years,” said Jabez House Project Manager, Odette Rossouw.
On Wednesday, May 3, Odette received the keys to a brand-new bakkie.
She said her prayers have finally been answered as she stood in front of the brand-new bakkie that was donated to Jabez House by Basileia Church.
She mentioned that the NPO was chosen among three charities to receive donations from the church.
“I’ve been in God’s waiting room for a new bakkie as the one we have was been bought in 1996. A church member appointed the NPO in good faith because he knew we have been longing for a new bakkie. We have approached several businesses to donate to us with no luck,” Odette said.
Jabez House is a non-denominational, non-profitable organisation that opened its doors in 2001 to serve the widows, orphans, the poor, and the needy for the love of their city eMalahleni.
“We transport groceries and food parcels to the needy in surrounding areas like Witbank Dam, Clewer, and Balmoral,” she concluded.
Every Monday Jabez Food Bank drops off 23 food parcels to pensioners and other people who are unable to make their way to their centre.
