Help warm their winter
As days grow colder, the public is encouraged to assist local charities and non-profit organisations within the Benoni area.
The City Times is giving local charities and non-profit organisations an opportunity to submit their needs for the annual Benoni City Times Winter Wish List.
These will be published on a regular basis throughout the winter season.
