The Western Cape Department of Social
Development is assisting in identifying some of the most vulnerable and poorest
families in the province, to receive food packages donated by the Moonlight
Humanitarian Policy Group Holdings.
Minister Albert Fritz has requested the
department, through regional offices, to assist in identifying the families and
coordinate the logistics of delivering the food packages.
Fritz added that this strengthens the
partnerships between government and civil society organisations that also want
to contribute towards the wellbeing of those less fortunate in a
whole-of-society manner.
He emphasised that the MHPGH donations will
benefit just over 4 500 families in the Cape Town Metro region and surrounding
areas, bringing some festive cheer to families facing dire economic challenges.
“We call on all communities to lend a helping
and charitable hand not only during the festive periods, but throughout the
year.” Fritz said.
