Family initiative replaces Wentworth Angels’ annual Christmas party
This year, during the festive season, Wentworth Angels will be donating food hampers to families in need.
AN INCREASE in the demand for assistance from families over the festive season has led humanitarian organisation Wentworth Angels to cancel their annual Christmas party and instead embark on an initiative to help families in need.

Founder of the organisation Tracey Williams said she found that throwing an extravagant party will be fruitless when there are so many families in dire straits over the festive season.
“We will be donating food hampers to families in need instead of hosting our annual party in December. We aim to donate 100 basic food hampers to 100 homes with children. We love bringing joy to residents with outfits and gifts, but it is sad when we can only give a few and not all.
“So, this year, we chose to give nutritional items to the families. Our gift hampers will be made up of items that will help families with meals during the festive period. We welcome donations and look forward to easing the burdens of impoverished families this Christmas,” Williams said.
To donate, contact Tracey Williams on 074 703 1393 or email wentworthangels@gmail.com.
