Kare Bearz spreads love to children in need by donating toys and has launched a food drive for local crèches.
ERMELO – The Ermelo Kare Bearz donated 150 hand-knitted beanies and soft toys to Zamokhule Day Care Centre in Wesselton on May 13.
The initiative aimed to provide warmth and comfort to the children during winter.
