It’s amazing to see what can happen when good-hearted people come together.
Thanks to the collective effort of many, Valcare managed to enable more than 3 million meals and help more than 43 000 people in the Cape Winelands during the challenging five months of lockdown due to Covid-19.

You can still make a difference though. The need in the communities of the Cape Winelands is bigger, and nonprofits are needed more than ever.

COVID-19 FUND SUCCESS IN NUMBERS
From the CEO | Stepping Up in Challenging Times
During this difficult time, the Valcare team is working closely with our stakeholders, partners, nonprofit members and local government to firstly spread the word around Coronavirus (Covid-19), and secondly to formulate and coordinate our role in the local disaster response plan.
Please play your part: stay at home during the lockdown period and make sure everyone in your network is following the correct guidelines. If we work together, we can stop the spread. You can also help by donating towards our Covid-19 Fund, please see the details below.
If you have flu-like symptoms, and have come into contact with someone who has the coronavirus, please contact the national hotline on 0800 029 999 or the provincial hotline on 021 928 4102 for advice on what to do next. Please always get a second opinion if you are at all concerned.
We’re in this together. Let’s stand united, stay informed and spread hope.

CEO of Valcare
