OFM hosts The Big Cover Up again

Listeners and businesses are encouraged to tune in on Wednesday, 3 June 2026, from 6am to 6pm and make a contribution. The campaign aims to raise R200, 000 in cash donations to assist NGOs in providing blankets and food to older persons and children, who are among those most affected by the harsh winter cold.

Donations can be made via ofmbigcoverup.co.za. Only cash donations will be accepted, with a minimum contribution of R100. Please note that no blanket or food donations will be collected.

“The need for blankets and warm clothing increases every year. Together we can make a difference in the lives of children and the elderly who need it most. The Big Cover-up is not just aimed to cover Central South Africa with blankets, but to also warm the hearts of those who will be receiving the donations,’’ says OFM sales and marketing manager Anchen Lintvelt.

In collaboration with Round Table Southern Africa, OFM will identify NGOs within local communities through regional Round Tables. These partner organisations will ensure that funds are used to purchase and distribute essential winter relief where it is needed most.

“For the second year, we have the opportunity to raise funds for people in our communities who need support during the winter months. The people of Central South Africa have hearts of gold, and every contribution made towards this initiative is incredibly meaningful to all of us,” says OFM CEO Nick Efstathiou.
