Young people in Port Shepstone are increasingly stepping up to support their communities through food drives and outreach initiatives.
As economic challenges continue to affect many households, youth-led groups have begun organising donation campaigns, distributing food parcels, and assisting vulnerable families.
Community members say the involvement of young people has brought renewed hope, with many praising their willingness to take initiative during difficult times.
Some organisers have highlighted that social media has played a key role in mobilising support, allowing them to reach a wider audience and gather resources more efficiently.
While challenges remain, these efforts reflect a growing culture of community responsibility among young people on the South Coast.
