Delivering Impact: How City Logistics Supports Taking Care of Business’ Mission to Empower Women

 

City Logistics is proud to partner with Taking Care of Business, empowering South Africans through efficient logistics and sustainable business opportunities.

At City Logistics, we believe in more than just delivering goods—we believe in delivering impact. That’s why we are proud to collaborate with Taking Care of Business (TCB), a South African nonprofit social enterprise empowering woman through business, helping unemployed South Africans, particularly women, to build sustainable livelihoods through small business opportunities.

City Logistics supports TCB in managing the collection and delivery of donations from valued retail partners like Edgars, LEGiT, Mr Price Group, PEP and Pick n Pay Clothing. These contributions are transported to TCB’s distribution centres, where they form the foundation for entrepreneurial success and community upliftment.

 

 

How City Logistics Drives TCB’s Impact

Through our collaboration with TCB, we help enhance efficiency and expand their reach, leveraging our extensive supply chain capabilities and regional network.

• Retailer Collections: Our team collects donations from TCB’s trusted retail donation partners across the country. This ensures safe and efficient transportation of items, saving TCB valuable time and resources.
• Seamless Delivery: Once collected, donations are delivered to TCB’s distribution centres, where they are sorted, prepared, and made ready for resale. This ensures that items are available to women entrepreneurs, helping them generate income.
• Empowering Women and Communities: Our logistics support not only improves stock availability but also enables women in TCB’s programmes to grow their businesses, support their families, and uplift their communities.

Shared Values in Sustainability and Empowerment

Our collaboration with TCB is deeply rooted in shared values of sustainability and empowerment. By facilitating the redistribution of surplus clothing, we contribute to a circular economy in fashion that reduces waste and extends the life of valuable goods. Every donation we transport helps protect the environment while creating opportunities for women entrepreneurs to thrive in their communities.

 

 

Tracey Gilmore, Co-Founder of TCB, Shares Her Thoughts

“Having the right stock, at the right place, at the right time, is a crucial part of our work. We rely on reliable logistics partners like City Logistics to ensure the generous donations we receive are delivered exactly where they’re needed most. These items are empowering families and helping them build brighter futures.” – Tracey Gilmore, Co-Founder of TCB

City Logistics is honoured to play a pivotal role in TCB’s mission. We understand the power of logistics in connecting resources to those who need them, and our collaboration with TCB extends that power toward a cause that benefits individuals, communities, and the environment.

By supporting small businesses within the circular economy in fashion, we contribute to sustainable growth, waste reduction, and positive social impact across South Africa. As TCB continues to grow, we look forward to being by their side—delivering more than just goods, but a pathway to success for South African women.
