For a nominal donation of just R5 or more, customers can take advantage of this added convenience by getting their gifts wrapped for a good cause from 5 December to 24 December 2016.
All proceeds from this gift-wrapping service will be donated to charity organisations chosen by each store.
Over the past few years, this Christmas gift-wrapping service has raised in excess of R2m for the respective beneficiary organisations. This year, the group is looking to improve on this significantly with the help of customers across the country.
Another way for customers to give responsibly this festive season is to donate R5 or more at the till point of any Shoprite or Checkers store to the Group’s #ActForChange fund. Proceeds from the Fund during December and January will be donated to FoodForward SA, which is working to feed thousands of hungry South Africans over the festive season. Every R5 donated will help provide five meals for hungry South Africans this festive season.
In addition to this, the group is hosting over 60 Christmas parties at children’s homes, old age homes and care facilities around the country this December, bring some much needed festive cheer to the lives of around 12,000 people.
