Needy families in Bela-Bela’s Zuma View informal settlement converged on the Total Surrender Church to receive winter giveaways on Tuesday 12 June.
The Warmbaths Methodist Church used the Total Surrender Church to receive several of the residents, pampering them with bread, soup and blankets.
Several of the families were offered a blanket each, totalling 50 of the warm cuddly bedding.
The Warmbaths Methodist Church worked with ward councillor Maria “Big Mama” Manamela on the goodwill initiative.
Families were identified by Manamela and the ward committee.
“It is always very touching and heart-warming to realize you have made a difference in someone’s life and that you made their day,” said Warmbaths Methodist Church elder John Beck.
“On Youth Day, we had a party for the children at Huis Tekna. We gave them beanies to keep them warm. All the older children received presents and goodie bags. We had cake and ice cream and
played games with them,” Beck said.
