Bringing early festive spirit to the community was the Honeydew Community Policing Forum (CPF) and Honeydew SAPS, during their annual toy run on November 29.

The event once again highlighted the strong sense of unity in the area, with volunteers, partners, and sponsors joining hands to share kindness with residents, young and old.

This year’s toy run included four stops: Golden Harvest Retirement Village, Ann Harding Cheshire Home, Baby Moses Sanctuary, and St Laurence’s Children’s Haven. Santa and his helpers travelled between the homes delivering gifts and warm greetings, and members of Help24 emergency medical services joined along the way to lend support.

Speaking about the importance of the day, Honeydew CPF public relations officer Michael Steyn said: “The annual event is an opportunity to give back and strengthen connections within the community.
