GEORGE NEWS - Garden Route Mall shoppers who had their gift purchases wrapped by the mall during the festive season have made a much-appreciated difference to the lives of less fortunate people in George.
Last week, representatives of the mall visited six non-government organisations (NGOs) in George to hand over funds raised from the gift-wrapping initiative.
The two gift wrapping stations at Pick n Pay and Woolworths had managed to generate R60 000 in six days from 19-24 December.
Mall marketing manager Tumi Masango said, "We would like to thank all the customers for supporting this cause and making a difference to our communities."
Expressing the message of Garden Route Mall’s 'Caring for our Communities' initiative, the mall donated a total of R60 000 to the following six deserving organisations - R10 000 each to: Rosemoor Home for the Aged; Life Community Services; Empower; AOD Foundation; George Association for Persons with Disabilities; and Zenzele Creche.
Maryna de Vries, CEO of Life Community Services, receives a cheque of R10 000 from mall marketing manager Tumi Masango and mall manager Rion Olivier.
