Now that the cold has arrived, the receiving of just one blanket can make an enormous difference in the lives of those hardest hit by the drop in temperatures.
With that in mind the Rotary Club of Witbank/Emalahleni has for years distributed blankets to people in need and this year is no exception.
Local recipients of blankets are:
*Witbank Town Centre (160 blankets) – Roman Catholic Cathedral (50 blankets); Oasis Church (70 blankets) for the town and Spring Valley; St. Thomas Aquinas Interact Club (20 blankets); SANCA (20 blankets).
*Ackerville and Lynville (160 blankets) – Roman Catholic (Ackerville) 50 blankets; Anglican Church 50 blankets; Kopanang School Interact Club 40 blankets and Mthimkulu Old Age Home 20 blankets.
*Schoongesicht – 50 blankets were handed to the Roman Catholic Church.
*Pine Ridge and Klarinet 110 blankets were handed out to three organisations – Hindu Temple 20 blankets, Lindokuhle Community Project 40 blankets and 50 blankets were given to the Roman Catholic Church.
*Hlalanikahle and Vosman area 100 blankets – 50 blankets to Alliance Church and 50 blankets to Rock of Ages.
*The Evangelical Church in Clewer received 20 blankets and in Ga-Nala 40 blankets were distributed. Cosmos Children’s Haven got 20 blankets and Annamarie Orphanage also received 20 blankets.
