Donate a Christmas Stocking and Make a Gansbaai Child Happy

Grootbos Foundation

Help us to deliver 300 Christmas Stockings to children in the Overstrand area and bring joy to many hearts during the festive season!
 
The Football Foundation is celebrating Christmas with the children from the communities of Masakhane, Blompark, Stanford and Hermanus this year. We are collecting Christmas Stockings for project participants and want to share the festive season with as my children as possible. The Christmas Stockings will be handed out at the Foundation’s annual Christmas Play at the beginning of December.
 
We are putting together a Christmas Stocking for each child, containing a toy, stationery, sweets and some basic hygiene products (soap/toothbrush/wash cloth). Boys and girls range from ages 7 – 18: please indicate the gender and age of the child your Stocking is intended for.
 
If you want to donate a Stocking with these items, there are four drop-off points:
1)      Grootbos Foundation, Grootbos Nature Reserve, Gansbaai, 7220
2)      Carol Devitt, Gansbaai Communal Sports Centre, Gansbaai, 7220
3)      Ayanda Stali, Sports Manager, Overstrand Municipality, Hermanus, 7200
4)      eta Special Projects, WPCC Sports Centre, Ave de Mist, Rondebosch, Cape Town, 7700
 
If you cannot make up or drop off a Christmas Stocking, a R50 (€5) donation will enable us to do it for you!
 
Please include your email address with the Stocking or donation so that we can send you a picture of the happy faces when they receive their presents! 
 
We wish you a Merry Christmas and Festive Season, and thank you for contributing to this worthwhile cause!
