With this in mind the Elsburg Sector One CPF has been handing out food parcels during the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe have been working hand-in-hand with Ward 39 Clr Alta de Beer,\u201d explained Elsburg Sector One public relations officer, Meleney Stassen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have provided food parcels to about 200 needy people on each of the days that we have provided the service.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cHowever, these donations are from private donors and are not supplied by the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo continue our work we will need more donations, as we can only hand out food when we receive food.\u201d<\/p>\n
