Our country has been ravaged yet again by horrific xenophobic hatred, leaving thousands of people displaced. Cape Town’s Jewish community has responded with a number of initiatives to assist these people, who are at serious risk.
You can make a positive difference to their lives by getting involved in the various initiatives! Here are some ways you can help:
- Donate goods in kind. Food items, supplies for babies, blankets, and healthcare products are what is needed. Drop your donated items off at the Union of Jewish Women’s offices between 08h00 and 14h00.
- Donate funds that can be used to assist in a number of different ways. Use the Union of Jewish Women Snapscan facility to make a financial donation, or donate to the National SA Jewish Board of Deputies.
- Donate your time and energy. You can help make sandwiches and soup, and get involved in packing goods and delivering them. Join the Mensch WhatsApp group to find out more.
