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.
The two gift-wrapping stations, at Pick n Pay and Woolworths, had generated R50 000 in six days from 19 to 24 December.
As an expression of its motto, 'Caring for our communities', representatives of the mall visited five deserving non-government organisations (NGOs) to donate the total of R50 000.
Rosemoor Home for the Aged, Life Community Services, Empower, George Association for Persons with Disabilities, and Huis JJ Watson each received R10 000.
"We would like to thank all the customers for supporting this cause and making a difference to our communities," said the mall's marketing manager, Tumi Masango.
