— 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.

— Global Support, Local Impact
A worldwide circle warming one city.
Operations are based in Cape Town — but support comes from every corner of the globe. Every contribution, wherever it begins, ends up as a blanket, a hot meal, or a safer night for someone in our city.

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.
