Operation Anti-Freeze’s blanket drive kicks off
You can donate your blanket or the cost of a blanket at R55 each
OPERATION Anti-Freeze has started its annual blanket drive project that aims to keep thousands of bodies warm this winter by collecting more than 2 000 blankets.
“We have been doing this drive since 2000 when we handed out blankets to 17 street children living under bridges. It has grown every year since,” Hilary Tolmay, the project coordinator and fundraiser, said.
Blankets will go to the less fortunate in the Kempton Park community.
You can donate your blanket or the cost of a blanket at R55 each. Donations are already open and will stay open until May 20.
Blankets can either be dropped off at the organisation’s office at 41 Trig Road or Anti-Freeze can arrange to collect the items from donors.
For more information, call Tolmay on 072-959-7242 or visit the Facebook page, Operation Anti-Freeze.
