Child Welfare Port Shepstone fundraises to feed families
The non-profit's monthly target is 15 food parcels.
Child Welfare Port Shepstone is raising funds to buy items for food parcels for families in need.
The non-profit held a fun run/walk at St Michaels Beach on Monday last week, to help raise more funds.
The event was well-supported by the public as well as Umbango Valley Association.
Child Welfare’s Monica Narainsamy said that their monthly target is 15 food parcels.
Other items urgently needed are for babies: nappies, formula, clothing, wipes and lotion.
“Our social workers identify the needs in each of their areas. We have young mothers who are always in need of formula, nappies, etc. We raise funds to provide these items while they are waiting for their grants to be approved.”
She added that they also need funds for transport, birth certificate reprints, police clearance and taxi fares.
