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.
