Over the past two months, TTC has successfully distributed 1 500 food hampers to underserved areas, including Alexandra, Ivory Park, Diep Kloof and Slovoville, ensuring that families in need can have food for vital sustenance during this holy month.

On March 21, 2025, Human Rights Day, TTC's distribution efforts in Diep Kloof benefited 500 families with the participation of Gauteng's MEC for Social Development, Faith Mazibuko. Mazibuko acknowledged the ongoing struggle against poverty, highlighting the importance of initiatives like TTC's. “We recognise that poverty remains a major issue here. Time to Care is making a difference by assisting the elderly and those in need. We hope they continue their invaluable work,” she said.

Additionally, Mr. Mustafa Eroglu, Secretary General of Horizon Educa-tional Trust, joined the event, reaffirm-ing his organization's two decade-long commitment to humanitarian aid. TTC's ongoing efforts didn't stop in Diep Kloof. On March 26, the organisation continued its distribution with the delivery of 360 food parcels in Slovoville, hosted at Time for Christ Church. This event further exemplified TTC's com-mitment to alleviating social support to struggling communities during Rama-dan and beyond.
