Pnet Sharing a Slice of Hope 🥪

Leading up to Mandela Day, the Pnet team in Johannesburg and Cape Town rolled up their sleeves and dedicated their 67 minutes to making a difference in the lives of those in need.

Together, the teams prepared close to 3,000 sandwiches, helping to spread hope and kindness across local communities.

Johannesburg team made 2,050 sandwiches distributed through SA Harvest to communities in the Benoni and Boksburg areas.
Cape Town team made 914 sandwiches distributed through The Ark City of Refuge.

A huge thank you to every member of the Pnet team who contributed their time and energy to honour Madiba’s legacy through service and compassion.

SA Harvest has been committed to ending hunger and reducing food waste since 2019 through food rescue, education programmes and sustainability initiatives.

The Ark City of Refuge has been providing shelter, food, clothing and care to vulnerable women, men and children since 1992.

This Mandela Day, we were reminded that even the simplest act of kindness can make a meaningful impact.
