Greater Springs Soup Kitchen honours local women on Women’s Day
The Greater Springs Soup Kitchen celebrated Women’s Day by providing soup, essentials and treats to women in Geduld, Strubenville and Springs Central, showing appreciation and care.
In celebration of Women’s Day, the Greater Springs Soup Kitchen showed love and appreciation to the town’s women.
The kitchen was set up at its usual spots in Geduld, Strubenville and Springs Central to provide soup and bread. Besides the soup, the ladies received a pack of tissue paper, a roll-on, soaps and a chocolate.
Two ladies from the Springs Spot, Hailey Watson and Chantelle Swart, thanked the soup kitchen for their gifts.
Swart told the Springs Advertiser that she did not expect it, as she was a regular with her son. She added that she felt appreciated and jokingly said it could happen every week.
Watson also did not expect anything but was happy to get something.
“I am happy I got something. I had forgotten that it was Women’s Day,” added Watson.
Franci Swanepoel said that gifts were a way of showing the women they cared for them.
“The women are the mothers of the nation, and doing this for them is to tell them we love them despite their condition,” said Swanepoel.
