The branch sponsors the transport costs of the fruit from Nelspruit to Bethal. This year, Piso donated a load of naartjies to the homes. There was even enough to donate to the homes in Morgenzon as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The community garden \u2013 a project that the branch also started three years ago and which has grown into an important asset in the community \u2013 lived up to its repute once again this week. Almost 100 kg of spinach was donated to the Residentia Palm-Oord retirement home and a further 40 kg to Bethal\u2019s soup kitchen. This comes after last week\u2019s donation of 60 kg of spinach to the Silwerjare Tuiste vir Bejaardes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe retirement homes are currently under great financial strain and something like fresh fruit is a luxury due to the rising cost of living.
