“There can be no greater gift than that of giving one’s time and energy to helping others without expecting anything in return.” – Nelson Mandela

There is a huge need in our communities for warm clothing, food and blankets. So, this July, OFM will encourage our loyal listeners to be part of the BIGGEST donation drive of the year!

Every Friday and Saturday during Mandela Month, OFM will broadcast live from participating businesses across Central South Africa to collect donations.

Items can be new, or pre-loved. So, if you’re going through your cupboards and find something that could be better used by someone else, please bring it along!

All donations collected will be distributed in the same town to children’s homes, old age homes, and the homeless.

Ten towns over five weekends – all for a very GOOD cause! Be sure to stop off at your closest one and help out those in need during these icy cold winter months.
