Mattresses and Blankets Needed Across Kouga – Municipality-driven donations drive

Kouga Local Municipality has issued an urgent appeal for mattresses and blankets as severe weather conditions approach the region.

The municipality is calling on residents to support vulnerable community members who may be affected by the expected cold, wet conditions. Community assistance plays an important role during periods of challenging weather, especially for families and individuals who have limited resources.

Donation Drive Underway

Residents are encouraged to donate mattresses and blankets to help provide warmth, comfort and protection during the coming days.

Every donation has value. A single blanket or mattress can make a significant difference to someone facing cold and difficult conditions.

As weather systems move into the area, the municipality is working with emergency services and community partners to prepare for possible impacts. At the same time, residents have an opportunity to support those who may need assistance.

Where To Drop Off Donations

Donations can be delivered to any of the following collection points:

Humansdorp Fire Station

Jeffreys Bay Fire Station

St Francis Bay Fire Station

These stations are serving as collection hubs for the donation campaign.

Community Support Matters

Kouga has a strong history of community spirit. Time and again, residents have stepped forward to help neighbours during periods of hardship.

This appeal provides another opportunity for the community to work together and support those who may be most affected by the approaching weather conditions.

In addition, the municipality has thanked residents for their continued kindness and generosity. Officials said that community support can have a meaningful impact on the lives of vulnerable people.

For enquiries regarding donations, residents can contact Annelise Rossouw on 071 482 2428.

The municipality encourages residents who are able to assist to drop off mattresses and blankets as soon as possible. Early donations will help ensure that support reaches those who need it most before the severe weather arrives.
