Senior citizens need help

The Pretoria Care of the Aged organisation can give a hungry person a meal for R4 per day. To do this vital work, they need to raise at least R1-million per year. Every day they look after 834 senior citizens, who cannot live without their help. With winter approaching, they will have more homeless and hungry senior citizens to care for. The organisation receives a welfare grant from the State of only R541 806 per year. They rely on volunteers and donations to provide much needed services. If you can, please help them with a donation of money or non-perishable foodstuffs such as stamp mielies; mielie meal; tinned or powdered soup; tinned veggies or fish; and baby food. They would also appreciate donations of clothing and blankets (they can pick-up).
