Benonians respond to help disadvantaged

Benonians have been responsive to the plea for help from Audrey Todd, of Care and Share.

Audrey Todd.

“I am very happy and appreciate all the help we are getting,” Todd said.

She added that they have received many sweets and Vienna sausages and can now tick these off the list of things they still need for the Christmas party they are planning for orphans from Putfontein informal settlements.

They have also received white T-shirts for the children, who have increased to 120 in number, but are still in need of cool drinks, long rolls, small packets of chips, tomato sauce, margarine, serviettes and cake boxes in which to put the children’s food.

Benoni High School pupils will be assisting Todd and her staff on the day.

“We are getting many people who want to volunteer on that day, but, unfortunately, there are people who’ve already been assigned,” she said.

The party will be held from 1.30pm to 4pm on December 3, at the Putfontein Police Station, to celebrate and shower love on the children.
