Make My COVID Better: The Scenic Drive team surprises patients with feel-good food
An initiative started by DC Coffee Co in Fourways inspired the Scenic Drive team to help others in need.
There is no denying that things are tough for so many of us at the moment, being slammed by the ongoing COVID-19 waves that are causing a great deal of isolation, confusion, fear, anxiety, and pain.
Many South Africans are fighting this virus in hospital and at home, and others are in isolation due to contact with someone who is infected.

An initiative started by DC Coffee Co in Fourways inspired the Scenic Drive team to help others in need.
The coffee shop is assisting people that need help with deliveries, collections, food delivery or just check-ins.
"Whatever the need, know you can reach out to us and we'll do our best to assist where we can. If it's more than we can handle, we may lean on some of you other legends to assist us in serving our community."
The Scenic Drive with Rian chatted to Neil Golding from the coffee shop about their great initiative to help South Africans.

"I came up with this initiative about a year ago. We needed to serve the community and help the people around it. We need to stand up for our community."
"Most people are just looking for emotional support. Most people don't have family here and they need that extra encouragement."
With the help of Krispy Kreme, Don't Cook and Spur, the Scenic Drive team was able to surprise COVID-19 patients with some deliouc food.
