Trellidor Durban West Assists Open Door Crisis Centre
22 May 2007
Greg Roux, owner of the Trellidor Durban West franchise, responded to an appeal by the Open Door Crisis Centre in Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal, for help with security after they had been broken into several times. The appeal appeared in the form of an article in the local Highway Mail community newspaper highlighting a spate of robberies experienced by the centre, which supports victims of violence, those suffering from AIDS and many others in need.
"They receive donations of clothing, food and other items from local residents and businesses, and these were being regularly stolen out of their storeroom and kitchen," said Greg. His franchise came to the rescue, securing the centre's doors and windows with Trellidor products and preventing any further break-ins.
Greg is pictured here with Cheryl Watkins, Financial Administrator of the centre. The photograph was taken by the Highway Mail journalist that had done the original newspaper appeal to which Greg responded.
