Shoprite and Checkers supermarkets have been bringing some Easter cheer to thousands of vulnerable children and elderly across South Africa this week.

Shoprite and Packa-Ching have launched a second mobile buy-back centre in the Eastern Cape, following the recent success of the programme in East London. With a unique, entrepreneur-focused approach, the Packa-Ching unit consists of a truck and trailer, which means it can visit multiple communities throughout Gqeberha on a regular basis.

Following the outbreak of the wildfire in the Jonkershoek Valley, Checkers reached out to support the firefighters battling the blaze with essentials including water, food & eyedrops.

Healthcare workers at the Klerksdorp-Tshepong Tertiary Hospital were honoured by the Shoprite Group this week for their selfless acts of service.

The Checkers Gauteng division surprised medical personnel and healthcare workers at the Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital with a performance by members of the world-renowned Soweto Gospel Choir - observing all Covid-19 protocols.

The Shoprite Group recently showed their appreciation for the healthcare workers fighting the Covid-19 pandemic at the National District Hospital in the Free State.

The Shoprite Group, together with The Appliance Bank, have given a 26 year old man from KwaBhaca in the Eastern Cape, a second lease on life.

Healthcare workers and Covid-19 patients at the Rev. Dr Elizabeth Mamisa Chabula-Nxiweni Field Hospital and Uitenhage Provincial Hospital received a donation of more than 600 care packages and two microwaves from the Shoprite Group this week.
