KFC proves that it can make a difference on Mandela Day
This Mandela Day, KFC staff members, along with NGOs, and other stakeholders spent the day volunteering and participating in fundraising initiatives linked to its Add Hope feeding initiative and the charities it supports. The KFC head office in Johannesburg ran a can collection drive that led to the packing of 720 boxes of food for JAM; one of the 137 NGOs that Add Hope supports.
A week before 18 July 2017, 700 cans were collected and were used to form a mural of Nelson Mandela's face, which was then taken apart and packed with other essential foods into boxes. The participating teams selected other Add Hope beneficiaries with the winning team selecting Mother of Peace as the beneficiary of its R10,000 reward.
