Daughters of Saint Anne Sodality, East Rand Deanery, extended a compassionate hand to the House of Mercy Drug and Rehabilitation Centre by donating much-needed essentials on December 6.
Among the items were bed linen, cutlery, and tablecloths, which will greatly benefit the centre’s residents.
Thembi Lesenya, a representative of the East Rand Deanery’s Daughters of Saint Anne, said the initiative is part of their annual outreach programme where they identify schools, centres, or NPOs in need.
“We then nominate them and learn more about their requirements.
“This year, we chose the House of Mercy and made donations for the things they need,” she said.
Lesenya shared how they came to know about the centre: “I did not know about them until one of our church members told us about it.
