GIVE A GIFT 

Give a Gift helps facilitate better relations between disparate communities through; supporting, giving; volunteering and raising funds for good causes. We support disadvantaged communities through bridging the void between the assistance provided by the statutory agencies and the actual need of individuals and familiesWe also encourage cohesion and harmony within disparate communities.
