Daily Dispatch has supported Helping Those In Need, our 2017 Local Heroes, since the start of the lockdown by promoting their efforts to collect and deliver food parcels and warm meals to those in need.
The Local Heroes Food Drive was promoted in the Daily Dispatch newspaper and on our online platforms. By joining hands, Helping Those In Need have received even greater assistance and they were able to provide food parcels and help thousands of people in need, who have been affected by the lockdown.
If you would like to donate to the cause or if you require assistance, please contact Marion and Matthew Peake of Helping Those in Need on 072 348 4528 or Helpingthoseinneed.el.sa@gmail.com.
