Boost for Xmas fund
2008-11-13
THIS week Paarl Print gave the Paarl Post’s annual fund- raising in aid of local charities a big boost by donating R5000. This donation brings the Fund’s income this year to R13 703,30 - still a long way from the R56 832 raised last year. The Paarl Post Christmas Fund raises funds for more than 20 local deserving non-profit organisations supported by the Western Cape Community Chest. Community Chest already makes considerable annual contributions to these NGO’s (about R700 000 thus far) and local businesses and members of the community are invited to give them a boost by contributing to the coffers via the Paarl Post Christmas Fund. All contributions are earmarked for support of the local charities. Deserving organisations supported by the Paarl Post Christmas Fund are SANCA, ACVV (Paarl, Paarlvallei, Franschhoek and Wellington), Rusoord old age home, Oasis senior care centre, Badisa Paarl and Wellington, Child Welfare Paarl and Wellington, Drakenstein Centre for the Physically Disabled, Epilepsy SA’s Care Craft Wellington Workshop, Abbeyfield Home Wellington, the Andrew Murray Children’s Home, and educare centres Sinethem- ba, Lingelihle, Nompumelelo, Mamza- na, Rise & Shine, Little Stars, Kairos (Simondium), as well as Siyakhula and Wielie Walie day care centres. Organisations active locally, which are also subsidised by Community Chest, include Cansa, Rapcan, Famsa Boland, Autism Western Cape, TB Care, San- ta, Hospice, Dementia SA and Diabetes SA. Send donations to the Paarl Post Christmas Fund, PO Box 248, Paarl, 7620. Donations can also be paid directly into the bank account Community Chest/PaarlPost 6215 2029 007 at FNB (branch number 261150) and fax the slip to the Editor, Paarl Post, on 021-872-9280.
