Help Ermelo Lighthouse make winter a little bit warmer
Highvelder invites residents to drop off any donations at 43 Kerk Street on or before June 15.
ERMELO – With the days getting colder and with winter on our doorstep, Highvelder has decided to launch a project to help the staff at Ermelo Lighthouse take care of the people on the street.
Highvelder decided to donated food to the value of a R1 000.
To make this project a success, we want to invite all the residents to contribute in making this winter a little warmer for the neediest people of our town.
With more than 200 people on the centre’s beneficiary list, it can get challenging to make the monthly budget work.
Highvelder invites residents to drop off any donations at 43 Kerk Street on or before June 15.
The donations will be taken to the centre on June 16.
Some of these needs include:
- Clothing and shoes (jackets, jerseys, beanies, scarves, mittens, socks, underwear, hats)
- Blankets, sleeping bag, towels
- Toiletries (soap, cream, toothpaste, toothbrushes, roll-on)
- Dry vegetables (split peas, soup mix, beans, wheat, lentils)
- Salt, sugar, spices
- Soya mince
- Soup packets
- Rice, pasta, cornmeal, oats
- Sunflower oil
- Coffee, rooibos tea, coffee creamer
- Tinned food (vegetables, sardines, corned beef)
- Peanut butter, jam, margarine
- Vicks, Zam-Buk ointment.
Any donation will be appreciated, and will help the centre take care of the people during the next winter months.
