Apr 4, 2023 | Acts of kindness, HSFA Volunteers, Retirement, Somerset West
The HSFA has several volunteer teams of eager residents knitting in chatty groups making numerous knitted squares, jerseys, scarves, beanies and dolls. These will be donated to needy communities, especially with the winter months looming ahead. Our residents have asked for the Somerset Community to please support their efforts by donating balls of “Double Wool”. Should you wish to assist, please drop off at HSFA Security Gate, 121 Lourensford Road. We will ensure they are distributed to our kind residents to continue their knitting activities. #knitting #somersetwest #somersetwes

Our HSFA Frail Care residents enjoyed a surprise treat with Helderberg Sunrise Rotary Club members serving delicious scones and eclairs at teatime! They also all received a gift of hand cream. Many residents commented on how lovely it was to have visitors. Left to Right: Nettie Lubbe, Gail Sykes, Lyndi Labuschagne and Casper Labuschagne. Thank you Helderberg Sunrise Rotary Club . #helderberg #helderbergsunrise #helderbergsunriserotary #rotaryclub
