🎁 Spark Joy!
Be a Secret Santa for a Jo'burg Senior! 🎁
G’Morning, Jo’burg!
This year, let's unlock a simple truth: small gestures make the biggest difference. The holidays can be incredibly tough for the wonderful, yet often forgotten residents in under-funded old age homes across Johannesburg. They've given so much, and now it’s our turn to give back a little dignity and a lot of delight!
We, the Circle of Friends, are again gearing up to deliver our legendary Giftbags for Seniors - parcels filled with essential comforts and little treats - that total around R200 each…
🌟 How You Can Make Magic Happen 🌟
Choose the method that works best for you and help us make their 2025 Christmas a happier one!
🛒 Option 1: The Trolley Treasure Hunt
Turn your next few shopping trips into a mission of kindness! We need those little luxuries that mean the world:
Necessities of Dignity: Soap, Shampoo, Body Lotion, Toothpaste, Vaseline, Camphor Cream, Zambuk, Facecloth, etc.
Festive Treats & Fun: Chocolates, Fruit Mince Pies, small LiquiFruit, Note Books & Pens, a Magazine.
Your Mission: Collect them, pop them into a used gift bag (or a black WW bag) and deliver your precious bounty to Bjarne in Northcliff or Hedy in Fourways by Tuesday, 16 December.
Reply to this post for the delivery address!
💰 Option 2: The Easiest Act of Kindness
Short on time, but big on heart? A quick EFT allows us to buy in bulk (ie cases of things from Makro). Every rand goes directly into essential products.
