Pick n Pay donates meals to schoolchildren

Pick n Pay has given food hampers to vulnerable schoolchildren during the lockdown as part of its Feed the Nation campaign. A total of 15,316 hampers have been donated that equates to 1.7 million meals. The hampers included fresh vegetables, rice, maize meal, baked beans, oil, pilchards, sugar beans and milk powder. One-hundred-and-two schools across eight provinces have been assisted to date. The schoolchildren are identified through the retailer's Pick n Pay School Club.

The Pick n Pay School Club traditionally provides free educational support material to 3,025 schools but, since lockdown and the closure of schools, its focus shifted to help its learners and their families with food and hygiene essentials.
