NPO, police help Reiger Park community
As the community continues to benefit from the collaborative efforts of these dedicated organizations, the spirit of compassion and solidarity remains strong, serving as a beacon of hope and support for those in need.
The NPO Bheki and Son joined forces with the Reiger Park SAPS social crime coordinators and domestic violence coordinators to provide essential support to communities in need in Ramaphosa informal settlement and Reiger Park on Freedom Day (April 27).
A donation of food parcels, clothing and sanitary pads was distributed to individuals facing challenges in the community.
Reiger Park SAPS spokesperson Constable Johannes Msimanga emphasised the importance of the donation, stating that the primary objective was to bring joy to those experiencing hardship and to show care and support for their well-being.
“The act of giving back to the community not only addresses immediate needs but also fosters a sense of unity and compassion among residents.
“The impact of this collaborative effort was evident as members of the community expressed their gratitude and appreciation towards the police and the NPO for their generosity and commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives.
“The sight of happy faces and the heartfelt thanks from those who received assistance served as proof of the power of collective action in creating a more caring and supportive community.
“Furthermore, amid the distribution of aid, the pressing issue of gender-based violence was addressed, shedding light on the importance of raising awareness and taking proactive steps to combat this pervasive societal challenge,” said Msimanga.
