GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - In the wake of the disaster, George Round Table 30 is stepping up to aid the families of victims.

Chairperson Stefan du Plessis says many of the families and survivors are facing unimaginable hardship - loss of loved ones, and for some, the inability to work again - and will need help going forward.

"Our mission is urgent: We're collaborating with Food Socks to provide food and essential hampers, offering these at cost, so all proceeds go directly to those who need it," he says.

"What your donation means: R600/month = food for a family for one month; R3 000 total = food and essential items for one family for three months. Our goal is to raise R400 000 to support as many families as possible."

Donate any amount to: George 30 Round Table; Bank: FNB; Account: 52295232360; Ref: Name + SUPPORT.

To further assist, contact Stefan du Plessis on 066 055 1010, Wentzel Stewart on 083 455 4425 or Johan Lochner on 083 986 2004.

"Every act of kindness matters. Let's show these families they're not alone. Thank you for your compassion," says Du Plessis.
