CPM have embarked on a drive to honour, thank and support our frontline workers via the highly-respected Gift of the Givers foundation. By donating\u00a0non-perishable<\/strong>\u00a0food items and\u00a0brand-new<\/strong>\u00a0items of clothing, these heroes can feel appreciated and comforted. We challenge the industry to join us in supporting this initiative to raise funds and procure food and refreshments for medical staff at hospitals as they toil through the long and lonely hours.<\/p>\n Drop off your of donations at any CPM branch, or directly to Gift of the Givers at the physical addresses listed on their\u00a0contact page<\/strong><\/a><\/span>.\u00a0There are 6 easy ways you can assist\u00a0financially<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and these donations are Section 18A tax deductible.\u00a0Gift of the Givers also offers programmes for those wishing to donate time and physical effort to the many causes they\u2019re involved with. For further info, contact their toll free helpline 0800 786 911 or email info@giftofthegivers.org<\/p>\n In January, the NGO opened an upgraded 120-bed accommodation section at Bisho Hospital in the Eastern Cape for medical staff who were living in guest houses. The R3 million renovation was completed within just one month, meaning their teams were hard at work during the festive holidays. Also donated were High Flow Nasal Oxygen machines, CPAP machines, scrubs, non-contact thermometers, pulse oximeters and general PPE\u2019s.<\/p>\n
