The Community Chest annual Winter Woolly Drive is in full swing, and the response has already been overwhelming.
They have collected several bags full of warm clothing, including knitted jumpers, cosy beanies and lovely handmade jackets.
Community Chest recently visited one of their ECD (Early Childhood Development) beneficiaries in Joe Slovo and brought warm smiles to these little ones.
The principal of Kamvalethu Day Care, Nokuzola Mphalisa, warmly welcomed the donation, expressing her sincere gratitude. “Many of our children come to school without jackets or even shoes,” she said. “With the recent cold snap, this donation couldn’t have come at a better time.”
“The joy on the children’s faces, all dressed up in their winter outfits, fills us with such a humble feeling,” said Colette Theron, Marketing Manager at Community Chest.
“As the cold weather continues, we remain committed to reaching more people affected by the bitter conditions. Our call remains for the public to continue clearing out their cupboards and donating to this worthy cause.”
Drop-off boxes are located at all the Pick n Pay stores in the Nelson Mandela Metro, Walmer Park Shopping Centre, and Boardwalk Mall.
