It is the middle of September and the December holidays seem just around the corner.

Sectors one and two of the Benoni CPF are already busy collecting treats for their annual Santa Sweetie Drive.

Travelling on the back of his trusty trokkie, Santa will visit Northmead, Farrarmere, Alphen Park, Northvilla, Goedeburg, Arrowe Park, Ebotse, Rynfield, and Morehill, spreading Christmas cheer and gifting young residents with something sweet.

Donations, big or small, are welcome from now until December 1, giving the CPF elves enough time to sort and pack items into festive goodie bags. Non-chocolate and individually wrapped sweets are preferred, while crisps and fruit juice will also be accepted.

To arrange collection or drop-offs, contact Deidre Conradie (Farrarmere) on 067 488 6966, Lea Olivier (Northmead) on 065 841 3270, or Kim Morrow (Rynfield) on 076 973 4527.
