Support Die Aartappels feeding scheme
The group is in need of non-perishable food and clothing
The Reiger Park-based feeding scheme, Die Aartappels, is in need of the community’s support as they are collecting necessities for underprivileged people in the community.
Stanley Adolph and Lionel Landsberg (DJ Bolti), founders of the scheme, said they initiated the project after they noticed how many residents are challenged by the pandemic.
“We started to collect potatoes for underprivileged people and made an appeal on social media. Since then more caring community members got involved. Now we’re about 14 people including Ronald du Plessis, Sydney Chipitura, Chantel du Plessis Lionel Henning, Peter Toskey, Shetti Mduli, Roderick Howard, Cyril Reeby Cinda Tree, Leonard Petersen and Gaynor Botha, helping the needy.
“We took a six-week break due to a spike in positive Covid-19 cases, but we are now ready to serve the community again,” Adolph said.
He highlighted they are in need of items such as non-perishable foods and clothing.
The group is collecting food from the public and local businesses every Saturday at a stall situated in front of the Reiger Park shopping centre. They set up from 10am to 5pm.
He expressed his gratitude towards everybody who supported the project thus far.
