PEP

At PEP, we are inspired by the unwavering dedication that Nelson Mandela had in making the world a better place. Yesterday, in celebration of Mandela Day, our Dynamos (employees) spent their 67 minutes preparing jars of hope. Every jar was prepared with the ingredients needed to make a meal - enough to feed a family of 4. Over 2,000 jars of hope were donated to families in need in the local communities 💙 If this has inspired you to do the same, follow the easy steps below. Soon you will be on your way to spreading hope and making a positive impact in your community. JARS OF HOPE RECIPE: Fill an empty 200g jar with the following ingredients: 125ml / Half a cup of Rice 125ml / Half a cup 4-in-1 Soup Mix 125ml / Half a cup of Lentils 1 unwrapped Stock Cube 1 packet Soup Powder COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: Print and attach to the outside of the jar Place the contents of the jar into a large pot Add 4 jars of water (for a stew) or 5 jars of water (for a soup) Bring everything to the boil Once boiling turn down the heat Cook on a low heat for about an hour “There can be no greater gift than that of giving one's time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return.” ~ Nelson Mandela #MandelaDay #MakeADifference #PEP #PEPcares

The generous random act of kindness of a good Samaritan inspired the idea of the Lay-by Buddy initiative. As a retailer deeply rooted in communities, PEP set out to find an easier way to enable and encourage the ongoing support of the generous idea of giving back to those in need. We wanted to make the process of paying off PEP lay-by's simpler and easier to enable many more to get involved and so, the Lay-By Buddy Initiative was born. This initiative allows everyone, with a little extra to spare, to make a difference. All contributions go towards paying off the lay-by's of PEP customers, enabling them to access the essentials they need, like winter clothing and blankets, sooner than expected and lighten their financial load. Simply request a Lay-by Buddy voucher from as little as R2 at any PEP store or visit the PEP website here: bit.ly/4600P2i  to make your contribution. Become a Lay-by Buddy today!

Today reminds us of the importance of our youth in driving change and shaping the future. Let's continue to support and uplift them as they create a brighter tomorrow. Happy Youth Day.
