Senior Citizens
We have over a 100 senior citizens in the community who rely on JHCS for meals, clothing, blankets and support following trauma. Many of these individuals don’t have any contact with family and are largely isolated. We arrange a monthly tea during which their birthdays are celebrated (and they receive a birthday gift). The assistance required includes:
- food parcels
- toiletries
Playgroup (40 Second street, Vrededorp) :
The house used by the playgroup is registered in JHCS’s name and belongs to the community. The house caters for 24 children to prepare them adequately for primary school. The learners start with breakfast at 7.30 and receive tuition until 11.30. They also enjoy lunch before going home.
