The festive season is a time for family and celebration, however, this isn\u2019t always the case as some families are left with nothing to eat.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Helpende Hand Boksburg began its annual Christmas collection which supplies food to 42 families within Germiston and Boksburg.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Hearing of this, AfriForum Primrose, the Primrose Residents Against Crime (PRAC) and Carrobella\u2019s Coffee Shop, in Primrose East, decided to get involved.<\/p>\n

Two weeks ago the team asked the community to open their hearts and donate non-perishable foods.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

These donations were then presented to Alida Reed of the Boksburg Helpende Hand to help towards the organisation\u2019s festive project.<\/p>\n

Alida, who was lured to the coffee shop under false pretences, was overwhelmed with joy when she saw what the team had accomplished.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot say thank you enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis food will be divided in packages and given to families who really need them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
