The South African National Zakáh Fund (SANZAF) have in the past few weeks provided about 40 000 families in need with Fitrah hampers.
These hampers, which contain chicken and vegetables, were distributed to ensure that families would have a hearty meal on Eid, which was celebrated yesterday, Tuesday May 3.
The first Ottery Land Group came together at the Athlone Civic Centre last week to make up the hampers.
Volunteers from the first Wetton and First Ottery scouts and community members heeded the call to assist with the packing.
