RPA plans to make a winter difference
Show you care! Here's your chance to help the RPA help others in need this winter.
Every year the Randfontein Publicity Association (RPA), organisers of the annual Randfontein Show, gives something back to the community it serves.
“The RPA has a heart for charity and every year we organise a Winter Charity Drive during which we buy food, clothing and blankets and distribute them to the disadvantaged,” said Joy Hamann, RPA Publicity Officer.
“We want to make a difference to those in need and appeal to RPA members and members of the public to assist us with the 2017 drive, which ends on 31 May,” said Joy.
“We give to different registered NGOs each year, as well as families and individuals (as identified by various members of the community). For 2017 we are asking people to knit blanket squares – 30cm by 30cm in any colour, beanies, scarves or bed socks,” said Joy.
“Those who cannot knit or don’t have the time but would still like to participate in the charity drive are welcome to drop store-bought items off at the RPA/ Show office at Greenhills Sport Stadium up to and including 31 May. Cash donations are also welcome.”
Distribution will begin early in June in Toekomsrus, Mohlakeng and Randfontein.
