This festive season, the spirit of giving and community shone brightly as TLC Outreach Projects in Table View, together with local schools, businesses, and partners, came together to bring joy and hope to hundreds of children and families in need.
The young hearts of Sunningdale Primary School took the lead by donating 100 Santa gift boxes filled with toiletries, stationery, and treats — a gesture that brought smiles to many faces. Kensio House School also contributed 60 Santa boxes, showing that the joy of giving crosses all ages. “These generous donations are a powerful reminder that kindness begins in our schools and spreads throughout the community,” said Colleen Pietersen of TLC Projects.
Businesses and community groups step up
Clippa Sales donated 30 Santa gifts, while Pick n Pay Table View went beyond donations by hosting a special Christmas party for the children of Radar Bush. The event featured a delicious lunch, gifts, and festive cheer, creating lasting memories for over 180 children and their families. Additionally, WCN’s generous financial support helped fund Christmas celebrations and gifts for more than 567 children living in informal settlements, amplifying the reach of TLC’s efforts.
While the holiday season highlights the spirit of giving, TLC Outreach Projects remains steadfast in its mission throughout the year. From educational programmes to initiatives combatting gender-based violence, TLC continues to foster hope and resilience in the community.
“The recent Christmas by Candlelight event, sharing meals and joy with families, reflected this ongoing dedication to uplift and empower. TLC Outreach Projects extends heartfelt thanks to all partners, donors, and volunteers who made this season special, including CRCCARES and Pastor Aidan and Pastor Sharon Jeffery. Their support is instrumental in spreading love and making a real difference,” Petersen said.
