— About Us

When the Cape wind howls, no one should face it alone.

Keep Cape Town Warm is a brand-new grassroots winter relief campaign mobilising blankets, food, warm clothing and shelter support for homeless individuals and at-risk families. We work hand-in-hand with shelters, schools and community kitchens to deliver dignity where it's needed most.

Founded in late 2025 and officially launching our first outreach this winter, we're already serving communities from Khayelitsha to Hout Bay, from Mitchells Plain to the City Bowl — powered by a growing circle of volunteers, monthly donors and partner organisations.

— Our Impact

Warmth that travels the whole peninsula.

Every blanket is tracked. Every meal is counted. Because radical transparency is the only way trust grows — and trust is how we keep showing up, winter after winter.

The stories behind the numbers.

The blanket came on the coldest night of June. My granny slept through to morning for the first time in weeks.

I started volunteering on a Saturday. Now I run a hub. This city has taught me what neighbours really means.

Hot soup, a kind word, a wool jersey — small things that make you feel seen again. Thank you, truly.
