Help The Homestead with 50 volunteers for Mandela Day

Here's a little more info about this opportunity...

For many children, home is meant to be a place of safety, warmth, and love. But for too many vulnerable young people in our communities, home has been replaced by hunger, neglect, violence, abandonment, and life on the streets. Every day, The Homestead opens its doors to children and youth who have nowhere else to turn. At risk children who arrive carrying more than just empty stomachs, they carry fear, trauma, and despair. At The Homestead, they are welcomed with dignity, compassion, and the chance to begin again. A warm meal. A safe bed. Clean clothing. School support. Counselling. A caring adult who listens. These are not luxuries. They are lifelines. This Mandela Day, we are asking you to stand with us for the children who need us most. Right now, our programmes urgently need: • “67 for Mandela” Food Drive - Some of our most-needed pantry items include rice, maize meal, pasta, samp, oats, lentils, beans, tin fish, baked beans, peanut butter and jam, soup mix, spices, tea, coffee and sugar. • “R67 a Day” - Financial donations to sustain our services with much needed resources across all programmes. Nelson Mandela once said: “There can be no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats its children.” This Mandela Day, we invite you to help us protect that soul. Whether you donate food, sponsor essential resources, contribute financially, or rally your friends and colleagues to support our mission, your kindness becomes part of something bigger, a future where every child has the opportunity to feel safe, valued, and loved. Together, we can turn compassion into action. Together, we can restore hope. Support The Homestead this Mandela Day and help us continue changing lives, one child at a time. Thank you for your support!
