Potchefstroom’s community champions are gearing up for another Vat Verniet Tafel (“Take‑for‑Free Table”) outside Mooirivier Beskerming on 16 August 2025. Organisers will set up tables laden with food, clothing, toiletries, toys and Bibles, available to anyone in need, no questions asked and at absolutely no cost. The initiative focuses on neighbours who are hungry, cold or simply in need of renewed hope, but its success depends on fresh donations from caring residents.
What’s urgently needed?
Non‑perishable food (canned goods, instant noodles, rice, etc.)
Toiletries (soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, sanitary products)
Children’s toys (new or in good condition)
Bibles in various languages
Every item, no matter how small, helps stock the table and restores dignity to those who collect from it.
Want to donate?
Reach out to Angelique Lottering on 067 080 2757 to arrange drop‑off or collection.
Please share this message widely; the right person may read it, give what they can, and change someone’s life.
With a simple tin of food, a bar of soap or a spare children’s toy, Potchefstroom can once again prove that compassion has power. Rally together, spread the word, and help fill the Vat Verniet Tafel, because a community’s heart is measured by how it lifts its most vulnerable, one generous gift at a time.
