WINTERHOOP is a national campaign, taking place from 1 until 30 June, designed to gather donations for the less fortunate to help them through a potentially cold winter.
This year Winterhoop is partnering with the Denis Hurley Centre (DHC) in Durban.
“We are excited to take on the position and are even more gratified to see ecumenical cohesion between the many Christian churches of different traditions, whom have set their differences aside to serve the less fortunate,” said DHC’s director, Raymond Perrier.
Musgrave Methodist Church in is one of the collection points for the campaign. During office hours people can drop off their donations at the church office.

Donations can be made in the form of clean and good quality warm clothing and shoes, thermal underwear and socks, beanies, gloves and scarves, blankets and non-perishable food items. Don’t give to the poor what you would not want to receive yourself.
If you want to donate money or provide people with a warm bed or meal at a shelter, you can visit the Winterhoop website to view more ways to donate. Donations can be made at a drop off point.
