Members of the Tumahole Police Station, joined by CPF members, reached out to the Jacobs family in Schonkenville last week, donating kitchen cupboards, a kettle, a two-plate gas stove, an iron, and blankets. Members contributed from their own pockets to make the donation possible as part of their monthly outreach in the community.
The family lost everything they owned when their house burnt down in August.
