Hospice calls on community to donate to its charity shops this Mandela Day
“This is our biggest community drive for the year and with all schools closed during level four lockdown, these loyal schools that support us annually are not able to.”
With Mandela Day to be held on July 18, Hospice East Rand appeals to the community for help.
Schools in the organisation’s geographical area normally partner with it on Mandela Day for its Bring-A-Thing campaign.
The campaign sees learners bring a household item that they no longer need to school for Hospice to resell in its charity shops.

“This is our biggest community drive for the year and with all schools closed during level four lockdown, these loyal schools that support us annually are not able to,” said Hospice East Rand marketing and media liaison Jonquil Siepman.
“We are pleading for help and support from our community this year.”
She said community members can support Hospice East Rand by donating any unwanted or unused household items.
Items can be dropped off at any of the organisation’s 10 charity shops situated throughout the East Rand or at its depot at 216 Kemston Avenue, Western Extension, Benoni.
Some of the charity shops are located at:
• Eastleigh – 27 Central Avenue
• Harmelia – Shop 48 Harmelia Centre Shelton Avenue
• Lambton – on the corner of Webber Road and Third Avenue
• Aston Manor – Pick n Pay Shopping Centre on the Corner of Monument Road and Concourse Crescent
