With COVID-19, Early Childhood Development (ECD) Centres remain closed and many children across South Africa who rely on the food provided by their ECD centres, no longer have access to their daily meals.
The FNB ECD team are responding to this plight by working with teachers from our 796 adopted creches across South Africa to identify vulnerable children and their families and communities in need of food. They are working closely with several NGOs raising money to provide food buckets to feed a family of 4 for 3 weeks at a cost of R300 per bucket.
If you would like to support the FNB ECD initiative you can utilise your eBucks to purchase Checkers and Makro vouchers to be sent to the FNB ECD initiative.
To Support the FNB ECD food initiative you can send your vouchers to: 082 828 2518.
Please include in the Message: "COVID Food" and your company name and province (if you have a preference of the area you would like to support).
