All donations collected go to vetted beneficiary organisations assisting with relief efforts in KwaZulu-Natal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe remain in close contact with the relevant organisations assisting with relief efforts to determine what aid is required and how we can support relief efforts during this climate disaster,\u201d said Sanjeev Raghubir, Sustainability Manager at the Shoprite Group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe frequency of climate-related disaster, like the KwaZulu-Natal floods, are likely to increase and the Shoprite Group is committed to building the resilience and adaptive capacity of the communities that it is a part of,\u201d added Raghubir.<\/p>\n<p>People wanting to assist family and friends in need can buy virtual vouchers that are sent directly to the recipient\u2019s phone to buy groceries or other essentials.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Post Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">85<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/shoprite-donates-r500k-of-food-continues-to-serve-9-000-meals-in-kzn-daily\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
