#MediChallenge to assist our frontline workers in Pretoria
“We realised the immense pressure on hospitals and medical caregivers – and we want to show our appreciation and solidarity with them.”
A group of people from a church called Church-in-South in Centurion wants to help medical front-line workers in any way possible.
“We realised the immense pressure on hospitals and medical caregivers – and we want to show our appreciation and solidarity with them,” said Church-in-South marketing manager Nadia Maritz.
In Centurion, the group’s main focus is on Mediclinic Midstream.
“On 9 January , Church-in-South delivered about 220 items of freshly harvested vegetables to Mediclinic Midstream. The vegetables came straight from the church’s vegetable garden, which is cultivated and maintained to supply produce to the community.”
The hospital thanked the church and Dr Phillip de Lange for the “heartwarming gesture” on their Facebook page.
The hospital received a colourful combination of tomatoes, spinach, green beans, butternuts and hubbard squash. The fresh produce table was set up for staff to collect an item as they were on their way home.
#MediChallenge aims to expand and want to start assisting frontline workers in hospitals all over Pretoria.
“Church-in-South also assists front-line workers with therapy and prayer, we aim to help anywhere we can,” Maritz said.
