KOUGA Municipality is on a mission to collect at least 500 bottles of “Keep Kouga Caring” for disadvantaged residents over the next three weeks in celebration of the month of love – February.
Each bottle will contain delicious cookies, whether they are store bought or home-made.
“The municipality has launched a competition for employees and councillors, aimed at spoiling residents whose income has been affected by COVID-19 and who struggle to put food on the table – let alone spoiling themselves with a sweet treat,” said Kouga Executive Mayor, Horatio Hendricks.
“Each and every employee and councillor has been challenged to donate as many glass coffee bottles filled with cookies as possible. Or just empty glass bottles or cookies.”
According to Hendricks, the councillor that donates the most bottles filled with cookies, can decide where they must be handed out, whether in the community, at a school or a non-profit organisation.
“May the best councillor win,” said Hendricks.
How residents can help
Residents and businesses can help by donating empty coffee bottles and cookies to fill the bottles. Donations can be dropped off at Kouga Municipality at 33 Da Gama Road between 08:00 and 16:00 from Monday to Friday – for attention Monique Basson.
“Each donation, whether it is one bottle or more, will help to make a difference,” said Hendricks.
