The annual blanket drive was started in the late 90’s by Win Freeman.   After her emigration to the UK, the task was taken over by the parish office.   We usually have a 2^nd collection and an appeal for blankets shortly after Easter.

In past years, the blankets have been distributed to needy people in the Winterveldt by the Mercy Sisters; the Rosebank Shelter; Bona Lesedi and Diepsloot by St Vincent De Paul Society; Orange Farm and Randfontein by Knights of Da Gama; Phiri by Bernadette Winderley and various mission stations by the Ursuline Sisters.
