Food Hampers for Less Fortunate in Stanford

...It’s Hampers of Love Time...

Please help us bring some cheer to those in dire need this holiday season.

2022 has certainly been a year of change and adaptation. Unemployment is still very high while food prices continue to skyrocket. This leaves the poor community in an extremely vulnerable position. We will be distributing food hampers to the poorest of the poor in Stanford - and we’re calling them Hampers of Love.

At a cost of R230 each, hampers of basic food items and a few treats will be packed and distributed in Stanford on 20th December. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated by over 200 elderly, sick and desperately poor villagers who are even worse off at year-end when our soup kitchen volunteers take a well-deserved break.

Donations can be made as follows:

1. Direct EFT into our bank account:

The Rotary Club of Stanford, FNB Hermanus 

Branch Code: 250655

 Account Number: 623 559 796 95

Use ‘Hampers’ as your reference and also leave your name.

As a registered PBO we are able to issue tax certificates.

2. Cash can be left at the Tourism office - in an envelope clearly marked Rotary Hampers. Please remember to leave your name and email address.

The campaign is well organized and hampers are distributed to those families who are in genuine need in Stanford.

Your kindness and support will be greatly appreciated, and go a long way in helping a poor family enjoy their Christmas, however humble it may be. There is no greater gift than seeing a smile of gratitude on the face of a desperately poor child or elderly person, and we get plenty of those.

Feel free to pass this appeal on to others in your circle of associates, family and friends.
