Apply for food parcels only at Disaster Management Center

People in need of food parcels should NOT contact their ward councilors.

According to William Maphosa, spokesperson for the J.B Marks Municipality, there is only one way to apply and that is through the Disaster Management Center at 018 299 5347.

The Municipal Disaster Centre is working with other role players such as the Department of Social Development, SASSA, and others in the local disaster forum to respond and assist with the alleviation of hunger to the needy over the lockdown period.

The food donations are received via the disaster center and distributed through the Department of  Social Development and SASSA who have proven profiling system tools to trace, detect, and care for the needy amongst our communities.
