Community project feeds thousands in the Moot
Thousands of needy people in the Moot and east of Pretoria were spoiled to a plate of warm food at the weekend. Friends of the Needy fund embarked on a winter drive on Saturday, whereby the Pretoria Tamil community provided 5 000 cooked meals to be distributed in and around Eersterust. Monique Hammond of Friends of the Needy said they distributed 500 cooked meals to five areas, including East Lynne, Moot, Nellmapius, Plastic View and Cemetery View.
Eersterust was treated to 3 500 cooked meals, Hammond said.
“Coupled with this, we also donated 100 dry food hampers to families and homes in need thereof,” she said.
“We also received 10 blankets that were distributed to Plastic and Cemetery View informal settlements.”
“They were extremely grateful for the contributions of food and blankets.”
She said Tamil Federation of Gauteng (TFG) and Friends of the Needy decided to commit by donating 200 blankets to the people of Plastic and Cemetery View informal settlements.
