You CAN make a difference this Madiba Day

Are you ready for ZO’s 12th annual Hang out with Madiba charity drive?

The ZO is calling on you to dig deep into your cupboards this Mandela Day on Friday, 18 July.

We hope you can make it to one of our drop-off points, either at the newspaper’s offices at 3 Baines Road, Empangeni, or in the open space between the Civic Centre and East Central Arterial in Richards Bay.

From 7.30am to 12 noon we’ll be collecting winter clothing, blankets, toiletries and non-perishable foods.

Donations will be distributed via the ZO’s charity arm Dice (Do I Care Enough?) to needy organisations and communities.

Dice operations manager Karen Dalton said the top needs are non-perishable items including packet soups, 2-minute noodles, porridge, maize meal, samp and beans, tea and sugar, or anything in the grocery cupboards at home, like canned goods.

Donation boxes will be placed at the drop-off points on Madiba Day.

Can’t make it to a drop-off point on Madiba Day? No problem! Call Dave Savides on 060 9719249 or Karen Dalton on 035 7990500, or email dice@zob.co.za

Show us your 67 minutes!
