Final call for shelters to apply for winter aid

If you are a registered non-profit organisation such as a shelter and those working with people on the street, you only have a few weeks left to submit your application for our Winter Readiness Programme.

The programme, which runs from 29 April to 31 October this year, gives us the opportunity to support organisations that provide shelter for street people by supplementing their available resources.

Organisations which are able to provide additional temporary mattress space during the winter period and who meet the stipulated criteria will receive food parcels, toiletries, mattresses and bedding as well as Expanded Public Works Programme workers to assist with cooking and cleaning.

To apply, visit www.capetown.gov.za/readyforwinter. Completed forms must be submitted by 16:00 on Friday, 8 March 2024..
