The Boksburg Advertiser’s Winter Wool Drive is gaining momentum.
Project coordinator Elize Kluyts, who is Boksburg Advertiser’s advertising manager, said a donations of wool and knitted and crocheted items are flowing in.
“We’re extremely thankful to the public for opening their hearts to those in need by making contributions towards the annual project again. Their support and donations will go a long way,” she said.
One of the community members who threw her weight behind the initiative is Yvonne Pohl (88), a resident of Cosmos Old Age Home.
Pohl is passionate about knitting and making a difference in the lives of others.
