website.As a country we band together to give back 67 minutes of our time to communities and people less fortunate than ourselves.
How we did our bit
This year, the
Nox Rentals Family decided to help the hungry people we see every day. We bought loaves of bread, jam, peanut butter, fruit and juice, and transformed our lunch room into a mini kitchen and started with the plan to make 67 lunch packs.
At the end of the day we had made over 100 packs to give!
During the day and at the end of the work day we distributed the packs between us and drove the roads of Cape Town handing out packs to people. There were so many smiles and thanks, even a hug or two!
