A simple R2 can help those in need

The total value of food items collected during the initiative was approximately R15 000.

The Dundee Rotary Club held its annual R2 food collection project outside Pick n Pay recently and once again, the initiative proved to be a great success.

Club members were also ably assisted by the Rotary Interactors from Dundee High School.

Members of Rotary approached shoppers and handed them a R2 coin and in return, shoppers were encouraged to use the R2 towards the purchase of non-perishable food items, including pet food. Many of the shoppers kindly returned the R2 coin afterwards, saying it should be handed to someone else.

Mrs M Neerahoo (Chairperson) receives the donation on behalf of Endumeni Senior Citizen’s Group from Gerald Willis-Smith (Rotarian), Marie Martin and Jana Bender (Rotary Exchange Students).

The Dundee Rotary Club thanked Pick n Pay for its continued support of this project. Food items were distributed to the nominated beneficiaries: Siphuthando Care Centre (Sibongile), Endumeni Senior Citizens Group (Glencoe), SAVF and the Dundee SPCA.

The total value of food items collected was approximately R15 000. Rotary also extended its sincere gratitude to all shoppers, who so generously contributed to such a worthy cause.
