Three Round Tables (Durban 2, Umhlanga 155, and Ballito 221) donated over 700 blankets to local NPO & NPC Matthew 25:35 as part of the Round Tables National Project Winter Knights Project.
The NPO and ministry has an outreach programme that helps communities across the province affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to Yvonne Halley of the ministry, their objective since the lockdown had been announced was in assisting the City and communities adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
“Our ministry operates from Glenashley and Ballito and thanks to the support from the community we have been supporting the Malacca Road Informal Settlement, the Briardene Informal Settlement, a settlement in Cornubia and a soup kitchen in Hillary. During this lockdown we have seen the community come together and we are again appealing to anyone who can help to donate non-perishable food items. We have vehicles and permits and are willing to collect,” she said.
