The elderly form an important part of the community and the GCN supports International Day for Older Persons which falls on October 1.<\/p>\n

To this end we are collecting cans of non-perishable food to donate to the Germiston Association for the Aged (Gafa).<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The items will be handed over to Gafa on October 5 at a special concert for the elderly planned by the organisation.<\/p>\n

The food will be distributed by Gafa to elderly citizens in their service centres who need it most.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

All donations of tinned food would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n

Donations can be dropped off at the GCN\u2019s offices at 25 Main Road, Fishers\u2019 Hill until October 4.<\/p>\n
