Clothes Line for Care
Steyn City and the Steyn City Foundation are hosting the ‘Clothes Line for Care’ in time for Mandela Day on 18 July. This is a great opportunity to go through your cupboard, haul out the items you no longer need, and deliver them to our Cedar Road gatehouse, where they’ll be collected and hung up by our volunteer staff members.
The clothes will be distributed by community liaison officers to registered non-profit organisations, homes and creches in need in neighbouring Diepsloot. While summer clothes are, of course, appreciated, they’d love to receive your gently used jerseys, scarves, woolly tights, blankets and thermal vests in all sizes.
When: The drop-off point will be open between 7am and 5pm
Where: The drop-off point is the Cedar Road gatehouse of the Steyn City Estate
