“Merchants of Light believe that small acts of kindness – a simple bowl of food, a warm blanket or a gesture of love – can create bonds within a community and ultimately in our nation. Thank you to the teams from the Virgin Active Bedfordview and Kit Kat Cash and Carry who supported this initiative.”
The NPO fed 2 410 people and distributed 400 grocery hampers with Kit Kat during the Mandela Day week.
