Rest-a-While Service Centre for the Elderly recently launched their Winter Food Drive campaign.<\/p>\n
They are urging the community to get involved and to help them collect food and other items to make up parcels for those in need.<\/p>
\u201cPlease help us collect blankets, non-perishable groceries, tinned food, coffee, tea, powdered milk and toiletries for both men and women so we can make winter hampers for our needy elderly.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s all open our hearts and share the gift of giving,\u201d said the centre\u2019s manager, Trudy Carreira.<\/p>
Donations can be dropped off at Rest-a-While\u2019s offices, on the corner Churchill Avenue and Shamrock Road, between 8am and 1pm (Monday to Friday) and arrangements can be made for collection of donations that cannot be dropped off.<\/p>\n
For more information call Trudy on 082 366 4010 or Michelle Bezuidenhout on 083 226 0880.<\/p>\n
