Sharing warmth

The SA Red Cross Johannesburg in conjunction with the SA Red Cross Regional office(Germiston) Distributed blankets and clothing to the Homeless. Not only did our fellow people get blankets and clothing, they also had a nice warm cup of soup.We helped them escape the cruel cold front that swept through the country. It was more like Christmas in the middle of winter. The homeless around Johannesburg had a Saturday to remember so did our staff and volunteers. They also enjoyed helping out as usual. We are still bound to continue serving the community whole heartedly. A warm thank you to the staff and volunteers who made this effort a reality. Not only was the soup warm, the whole event was heart warming too.

Nedbank gives to the poor

The Nedbank Foundation did wonders this winter. They donated matresses and blankets for disater victims. It is a great organisational effort to see to it that poor people get all the help. It is a way of paying back to the community that makes them a great Bank. We at the SA Red Cross Johannesburg would like to thank them on behalf of thousands of people who will benefit from this generous donation, we wish them more success in the future. We encourage them to keep giving to different courses of humanitarian aid.

More food for Alexandra disaster survivors

The SA Red Cross Society Johannesburg gave more food to the Alexander community. The food will be distributed by SARCS volunteers to survivors of different disasters in the area. This winter we have been called to assist many residents in different areas due to shack fires and other disasters. The occupants of these shacks are always trying to escape the winter chill, instead they end up burning their shacks. The SARCS Johannesburg is always there to answer to their calls for much needed help.

Fierce blaze ravages Alexandra

This Sunday meant doom for some Alexandra residents, as they witnessed all their belongings go up in smoke. They lost clothing and other household items. As usual the peoples friend(SARCS) was there to lend a helping hand, the Red Cross Johannesburg gave the survivors Food and blankets . On the forefront was Mr Lucky Miyambo the local community leader who received the goodies from Mr Banda Of the SARCS Johannesburg. He emphasised on how the Red Cross helped them, at least people who lost everything had something to help them survive the coldness. All these acts of humanity are made possible by our incredible donors and volunteers. This sad event happened at 107-11th Street Kew Alexandra, more aid will still be appreciated.
