Last week, we highlighted the remarkable efforts of Legae Child Care Centre, the Beneficiary Organisation (BO) of our FLM Mega City store. This week, we are shining a spotlight on another child-centric organisation, this time supported by our FLM Tokai store, Westlake United Church Trust (WUCT).
A non-profit organisation situated in the Western Province, the Westlake United Church Trust is dedicated to socially uplifting the Westlake Village community of nearly 20,000 residents by creating pathways out of poverty. For the past five years, FLM Tokai has been providing monthly donations to the value of R3,000 in Food Lover’s Market vouchers, bakery goods, and fresh produce. These contributions play a vital role in nourishing 180 children up to grade R in their Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme and supporting 100 children in their Childcare and Protection programme.
According to Kate Marais, CSI Manager at FLM, “We identified Westlake United Church Trust as an organisation that, while providing a safe space and education for the children of the Westlake community, also works to uplift the families that live there. In this way, the donations made by our FLM Tokai store really do have an impact beyond the meals that are provided and offer hope for a brighter future for the entire community”.
“Nutritious food comes with a cost and Food Lover’s Market has been instrumental in helping us provide these nourishing meals to the children in our programmes, saving us significantly,” says Pieter Greyling, General Manager at Westlake United Church Trust (WUCT).
Stay tuned! Next week, we’ll introduce you to another one of our incredible Beneficiary Organisations.
