Much Easter giving at his time of year is, as it should be, focused on underprivileged and abused children thus leaving an equally vulnerable and deserving section of our society un-catered for – namely our Senior Citizens. This Easter we have decided to support Huis Zonnekus in Milnerton. There are currently 20 men and 77 women residing at Huis Zonnekus and we would like to present each one with a gift pack of 1 deodorant / toiletry and some marshmallow eggs at a tea party on Monday 25th April at 10am.
We would like to encourage you, your friends and family to donate a gift pack or any items that we can use to make up a gift pack e.g. marshmallow eggs, deodorant, body lotion, shampoo, toothpaste etc that we can ensure we have 1 gift pack for each Granny and Grandpa.
The drop off point for the donations is as follows: 83 Malmesbury Road, Kleinbosch – Please sms / call Lucy at 084 5594990 to ensure someone is home before you drop off any items. If you have more than 5 gift packs at a point and are unable to drop them off, we can arrange to collect these after hours. Please arrange to deliver / for us to collect by COB Friday, 15th April.
In addition, with our Santa for Senior project there were a few people that were interested in ‘Adopting a Granny or Grandpa' – which would entail visiting or dropping off a treat / gift every now and then. Many of these Seniors have no family or friends visiting so would appreciate even the smallest gesture. If you are interested in ‘Adopting a Granny or Grandpa' then please email us and we will get back to you with more details.
If you are able to assist us with this project by either donating gift packs / items for the packs / cash, with some of your time to assist on the day of the Tea Party or with your baking skills for the Tea party, then please contact Clarissa on ccwitten@mweb.co.za / 084 559 6918 or Janine on tazz31jj@yahoo.com / 083 453 2432 or Lucy on lucywalsh@mweb.co.za / 084 559 4990.
We would really appreciate it if you would please pass this on to anyone who you think may be interested in helping with this worthy cause.
