A new initiative in Johannesburg is helping the homeless combat the cold and help feed people in need; all thanks to a blanket and food drive.

 

Fourways, South Africa (17 July 2024)4 Justice South Africa is more than a non-profit; it’s a movement committed to driving social change and uplifting the community. Based in Fourways, the non-profit is on a mission to help the homeless community, do community cleanups and so much more. They are hosting a blanket drive to keep people warm this winter.

Having partnered with a local law firm, they are committed to significantly impacting the community while offering transparency. All funds raised are directed towards the programmes run by the non-profit.

Some of the key focuses for the organisation included:

  • Community cleanups
  • Helping the homeless community
  • Assisting vulnerable women and children
  • Caring for abused animals
  • Supporting disabled individuals
  • Providing professional assistance through our partners

“We are dedicated to transparency and accountability, ensuring that every donation directly supports our causes.”

The current initiative being run by 4 Justice South Africa is the “Warm Hearts, Warm Hands Winter Initiative 2024″.

It is aimed at helping keep the homeless community in Fourways protected from the harsh winter.

“At 4 Justice, we believe everyone deserves warmth and comfort.

This winter, we aim to collect and distribute 100 blankets, warm clothes, and shoes to those in need. We’ve already collected 68 blankets. With your support, we can not only reach this goal but blast past it.”
