Valentine’s Day at HSFA Silver Oaks Lodge Started with a Heartwarming Surprise!
Love and kindness filled the air as our residents were treated to a delightful Valentine’s surprise, thanks to the generosity of ATKV Paarl Vallei! Thoughtfully wrapped Valentine’s boxes, brimming with delicious home-baked biscuits and accompanied by heartfelt personal messages, were lovingly delivered to each resident.
Moments like these remind us of the power of community, compassion, and small gestures that make a big difference.

Jun 24, 2024 | Acts of kindness, HSFA Projects team, Out the Box
This quote rings true for the children at The Smart Hub in Macassar, who recently enjoyed the wisdom and storytelling from some of our special HSFA residents. These representatives (Ellen, Louise and Adele) from our ever-growing “HSFA Projects Team” brought bags filled with beautifully knitted blankets, jerseys, beanies, and teddies, all lovingly crafted by our residents, to the school. Ellen told an animated version of Little Red Riding Hood which had all the kids hanging on to every word!
Massive thanks to Dr. Bryony May and her volunteers at
Out the Box NPO for creating a wonderful educational centre for these children, the Little Smarties, achieving a remarkable transformation in just two years. Our residents from HSFA Projects recently had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Bryony on the various programs being implemented by Out of Box and were instantly inspired to get involved and contribute their skills.

Thank you so much, The Community Chest of the Western Cape and GOOD HOPE FMGOOD HOPE FM, for choosing the Helderberg Society for the Aged as a beneficiary for the Good Hope FM Keep Cape Town Warm event! The Campaign had collected over 1,500 blankets and nearly 6,000 non-perishable food items! The handover ceremony was a truly inspiring experience, filled with the ‘warm hearts’ of dedicated NPOs and generous donors coming together for a common cause. The blankets and food cans will certainly benefit many of our elderly residents who have no family or financial support. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=977432300514440
