Sponsor a Green Bag of Toiletries
Help us in making a positive impact by donating a bag of toiletries for our community patrons! Invite your family and friends to donate a month's supply of toiletries. For only R120, you can pack one green drawstring bag with essential items such as a roll-on, lotion, bar of soap, a tube of toothpaste and optional sanitary pads, wash cloth, and toothbrush. Together, let's share the gift of kindness!
We know people who will cherish your pre-loved clothes...
Give your gently used clothes, blankets, and shoes a new home!
Because walking is our patrons main means of travel, good shoes go fast. They mean a lot to our community and your act of kindness can make the difference!
