Ermelo Toyota’s Aspirant Knights donated crates, soil, and seedlings to help Children of the Dawn start a sustainable vegetable garden.

ERMELO – The Ermelo Toyota Aspirant Knights recently donated four large planting crates, soil, and a variety of fresh vegetable and herb seedlings to the Children of the Dawn, supporting the organisation’s ongoing work with vulnerable children.
