Child Welfare SA Edenvale and Bedfordview receives generous donation

Benoni-based business Alaskan Snow Manufacturing lent a hand to Child Welfare SA Edenvale and Bedfordview when it donated to the organisation.

The donation was made on July 24 at the Edenvale-based branch.

Edenvale resident Meg McDonald assisted the owners of the business Jenny and Darryl Lush to donate the parcels.

Meg said through donations from the community Alaskan Snow were able to donate powdered food to the welfare.

“In the past month we handed over quantities of meal in a bag, soup and porridge to Khanyisa Trust, Tabitha House, The Hope Foundation, Mohau Orphanage, Operation Hunger and more,” said Meg.

She explained that a drive was held during Mandela Month to assist the charities.
