Cape businesses support firefighters

Design4T launched a T-shirt and Domino's Pizza's Cape-based stores in Tableview and Vredekloof provided firefighters and volunteers with a continuous supply of pizza to sustain them during their battle.

The t-shirts are dedicated to these heroes, to their courage and bravery, with 100% of proceeds donated to the Volunteer Wildfire Services (VWS) to cover operational costs, such as fuel, vehicles, uniforms and firefighting equipment.

Domino's Pizza also donated pizza to residents evacuated from an old age home in Muizenburg. "While donations have been coming in to relieve families who have had to abandon their homes, the firefighters and volunteers have been out there almost continuously among the smoke and flames without much relief and we felt we wanted to support these brave men and women with food to strengthen them and keep them going," says CEO of Taste Holdings, Carlo Gonzaga. "Drivers from both our Cape stores made regular trips to make these deliveries. This is our way of saluting the heroes who are fighting so hard to bring this tragic situation under control."

Show support and pride with one of these limited edition T-shirts, available from www.design4t.com/CapeCares.
