Rehab centre can bank on ongoing support
The bank has 'adopted' House of Mercy as a recipient of their Corporate Social Investment programme.
The staff of the Capitec Bank Gau-East Business Unit cooked, cleaned and did laundry for the residents and staff at House of Mercy Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centre on July 20, as part of their 67 Minutes for Mandela Day.
Selinah Molekwa, of the bank, said they were happy to associate their efforts with House of Mercy as they are changing people’s lives for the better.
“We have supported the centre in the past and have since ‘adopted’ them. It is important to give back to the community who support our business and enable us to survive too.
“Our branch does charity drives three times a year and this is our first for this year.
The director of House of Mercy, Monica Mashiane, said they are grateful for the support from the Capitec team.
“We are glad they are back. Last year they donated groceries and toiletries during the tough times we experienced due to Covid-19.
“Thanks to their support and of other organisations, we survived Covid-19. We hope this relationship continues,” said Mashiane.
