This Mandela Day, Expert Stores proudly partnered with the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) to go to donate blood. The event, held on July 18th, was a resounding success, thanks to the enthusiastic participation of our team.
A Heartfelt Thank You
Our dedicated employees came together, contributing life-saving blood donations that will benefit those in critical need. Each donation has the potential to save up to three lives, making our collective effort incredibly impactful. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie and a shared sense of purpose, embodying the spirit of Nelson Mandela’s legacy.
Our Commitment to Community Service
At Expert Stores, our Expert Cares program is dedicated to making a positive difference in our community. The blood drive was a testament to our commitment to social responsibility and the well-being of our fellow South Africans. By partnering with SANBS, we ensured that our contributions went directly to supporting emergency medical treatments and surgeries, enhancing the overall health and safety of our community.
