George Municipality and stakeholders – Support the Homeless – “Adopt a Person”

George Municipality as part of the PLOTS Forum held a quarterly meeting recently  focusing on improving the lives of homeless individuals. Various departments and NGOs, including representatives from Project Hope and community wellness programmes, discussed strategies for effective support.

We invite businesses, NGOs, and community members to participate in our new “Adopt a Person” initiative. Instead of giving cash directly to individuals, you can donate R25 to the George Night Shelter. This donation provides a person with one night of accommodation, including a meal and shower.

For more information, please contact:George Night Shelter at 044 873 2787 or George Municipality at 044 802 2000.
