Helping hands needed for Nkosinathi Project
AROUND 300 meals are served to homeless people, for five days a week, through the Denis Hurley Centre's (DHC) Nkosinathi Project which is currently looking for helping hands. Nonhlanhla Nhlangulela, a social worker and project co-ordinator, said that they are always looking for volunteers in the kitchen to help prepare as well as serve breakfast and lunch to people, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. 'Volunteers are needed from 08:00 to 10:00 and then again 11:00 to 13:00 and we quite understand if people can only come for part of the morning,' said Nhlangulela. 'The work involves helping serve tea and bread at around 08:30, preparing a cooked meal, serving the food at noon and clearing up afterwards. The work is supervised by our cook, so you will always know what to do and there is security on site in case of any problems, which is rare.' To volunteer with the programme, you need to be over 16 years old. Parking is available for R25 at the neighbouring Cathedral; alternatively one can park below Victoria Street market, which is opposite DHC, which costs R12 for a few hours.

We also welcome small groups of volunteers (families, community groups, students, office outings), though these need to be scheduled in advance,' said Nhlangulela. She said the cost of running the programme is about R15 per person per day or R4000 per day, which is funded by generous donations of cash and food from donors. 'But simply spending time chatting with the homeless is also a part of the ministry. We already have regular volunteers from the Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Jewish communities and are very keen to be as multi-faith as possible as part of Hurley's legacy,' said Nhlangulela. In addition to receiving breakfast and a cooked lunch, the homeless have access to showers, a laundry service, a free clinic, counselling, empowerment talks and job-related skills. For more information or to volunteer, email Nonhlanhla Nhlangulela on [email protected] or call 064 650 5713. For more from Berea Mail, follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram.

Church brings joy to residents of Pauline Davis Court
Members of the Christian Family Church based in Johannesburg spent their morning on July 26 with the elderly residents of Pauline Davis Court, distributing soup, bread and other treats as part of their monthly outreach initiative. The residents, visibly delighted, gathered in the communal hall where they socialised, prayed and sang along with their visitors. According to Annette van Eden from the church, the initiative forms part of their Serve our City outreach day, during which members reach out to the elderly and vulnerable communities across various areas to demonstrate God's love through acts of service. 'We go out and serve the community by doing joyous work that shows love. We encourage, uplift, speak to them and pray with them during our gatherings. 'Besides visiting the needy, we also fill potholes and paint people's properties,' said Van Eden. She added that this was not their first visit to Pauline Davis Court. Last year, the church team also assisted with gardening services at the facility. The elderly residents expressed their gratitude for the generous gesture.
