Social worker, Nomfundo Khumalo appeals for food donations for the Pinetown Highway Child and Family Welfare Society's empty food rooms.
PINETOWN Highway Child and Family Welfare Society has appealed to the Highway community, schools and businesses for help as their food stocks are running low again.
The food is distributed to the needy in the community. What’s more the society said they depend on donations to keep running. With the Covid-19 pandemic, social worker, Nomfundo Khumalo said more people are desperate and knocking on their doors for assistance.
“It is so heartbreaking to turn them away empty-handed,” she said.
All donations are welcome, however, the welfare society especially needs nappies, baby milk powder, canned food, baby cereals, samp, beans, sugar, tea, bathing soap and toothpaste. To assist, contact the welfare office on 031 701 3288.

My name is Sanelisiwe Tsinde, and I'm a mother of two boys and very family-oriented. Being a community journalist for years, I can proudly say I love writing about positive community news articles and giving a voice to the voiceless. Seeing people getting assistance warms my heart. Every day is a different challenge and a new learning opportunity. I supply news for our trusted publication weekly, and a few years ago, Caxton ventured into online publication, so I contribute daily to the websites. I could say I am a multimedia journalist, and working in a community newspaper is beneficial as we do not focus on one thing but we do a bit of everything.
