Every year, since 2015, the Pretoria Smile team has come together with the community to make a difference with our Annual Blanket Drive. As winter approaches, many families face the challenge of staying warm, and our goal is simple: to provide comfort and warmth through quality blankets.
What is the Blanket Drive?
Our Blanket Drive is an initiative designed to raise funds for purchasing and distributing blankets to those in need. In partnership with Rotary E-Club, we obtain high-quality blankets sold with 100% of the proceeds going towards this cause. Once collected, the blankets are donated to local families and organisations, offering them warmth during the colder months.
How It Works
It’s easy to participate! For just R100, you can sponsor a blanket. You donate the amount, place your blanket in the box provided, and if you’d like, we can capture the moment with a photo of you donating the blanket. These photos are shared with Rotary International to help inspire others around the world to support similar causes.
Why Your Support Matters
Each blanket donated goes directly to someone in need. By participating, you’re not just offering warmth but also showing compassion and community spirit. Since starting this initiative, we’ve been touched by the generosity of our community, and each year, we aim to make an even bigger impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does a blanket cost?
Just R100. This small amount can make a huge difference for someone facing a cold night. - How many blankets can I donate?
As many as you’d like! The more blankets we collect, the more lives we can touch.
