Community generosity helps families and local organisations
Story 1
Members of the Johannesburg community have come together to donate groceries and care packages to People4Purpose NPO, helping several local families who need support.
The response from donors was so generous that the organisation was able to share some of the extra supplies with other community groups doing work in the area.
Volunteers also spent their weekend collecting, packing and delivering the donations to make sure they reached the people and organisations they were intended for.
