“Many of them have young children and not enough or even no blankets to keep them warm on these very cold nights. We are now appealing for new or used clean, good-quality blankets.
“We have also been collecting jerseys, jackets, socks and other warm clothing items which we will hand out to those in need. We would really appreciate the support of the community – you can truly bring hope and warmth by helping families and individuals this winter season,” she said.
Bransgrove-Bower said they will be collecting until June 2, and the items will be handed out on June 3.
If you would like to donate, you can contact Bransgrove-Bower via WhatsApp on 083 734 2841.
