Checkers Hyper Brackenfell donated 580 care packages to the Brackengate Intermediate Care facility as a token of appreciation for the medical and support
personnel who have been working tirelessly in the fight against Covid-19.
The packages contained snacks, water and essential toiletries (such as soap and waterless hand sanitiser), newspapers donated by the Cape Argus and Tygerburger as well as greeting cards specially drawn by children from early childhood development centres supported by Checkers.
“I salute our healthcare workers and most importantly Checkers for recognising their hard work and doing something about it. For that I would like to thank you,” commented Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, Western Cape Health MEC.
“The Brackengate Intermediate Care Facility is on the doorstep of our Home Office in Brackenfell, and we are committed to supporting the communities in which we trade,” explained Lunga Schoeman, CSI Manager for the Shoprite Group. “Checkers also donated care packages to the Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Gate Mediclinic and Louis Leipoldt Hospital earlier this year.”
Since the start of the pandemic the Shoprite Group has donated more than 15 000 care packages to hospitals in the Eastern Cape, Gauteng, Free State, KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape.
