For many children and old people the daily requirements of food, clothing and shelter are more than precious commodities. With limited resources available to them, children and elderly face each Xmas season without much celebration and empty tummies. Project Leader Prissy Govender and volunteers assisted in packing and distributing the food hampers at Bottlebrush Little Angels in Unit ll Chatsworth, KZN.
To provide lunch to the Senior Citizens at the old age home with some entertainment, fun and games. Spread hope and courage and a smile to the seniors.

Our objective was to share the joy of Christmas and make the community feel loved and cared for. We created a special Christmas for the homeless community by making them a meal and gifting them non-perishable food items. To share the joy of Christmas and uplift the spirits of others, we organised a special Christmas Day Lunch for the homeless community in Lansdowne.
Volunteers assisted by making 120 meals of soya macaroni bolognaise. We were able to give each person a meal, cool drink, cake, biscuits, sweets and a grocery pack of non-perishable foods. The community were very grateful for the meal and food parcels they received. They were hugely appreciative of all the volunteers who made them feel so special on Christmas Day. The community expressed how grateful they were for all our efforts and for taking the time to make the day a memorable one for them.
Volunteers also expressed how meaningful and heart-warming it felt to cook for the homeless and spend Christmas giving back to those less fortunate. We are deeply grateful for everyone’s generosity, kindness and enthusiasm that made this event possible.. Hats off to project leader Viveka Vassen & team of volunteers.

Can you really imagine Christmas without toys and games for children? Initiated by IAHV, The Nelson Mandela Youth Centre and a donor who sponsored the toys. This was a Christmas Eve toy and snack distribution with chip rolls to 150 children in Welbeduct in Chatsworth KZN. This adds to the joy. It is great and makes you feel good and it keeps the kids excited. Also to make sure that they have a present to open up on Christmas Day.

The James House Community of Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay were overwhelmed to receive Christmas Food Hampers this year filled with non-perishable groceries. Our hope was that these food packs would ensure these families had food on the table for a special Christmas meal, as well as food during the school holidays while James House was closed.
The success of this initiative was only possible with IAHV’s generous donation, which enabled us to purchase 100 x Yebo Fresh packs for this community. The food packs were well-received with much appreciation and the James House staff and families have expressed their heartfelt gratitude for the continuous support of IAHV and all volunteers involved.
