Donors simply need to write their name and contact details on their donation, with the winner to be announced during the handover ceremony on 3 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-community-impact\"><strong>Community Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative represents more than just a collection drive; it&#8217;s an opportunity for the Bellville community to demonstrate solidarity with some of its most vulnerable members. The Victim Support Unit&#8217;s involvement highlights the police service&#8217;s commitment to community empowerment beyond traditional law-enforcement duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-you-can-help\"><strong>How you can help<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Community members are encouraged to visit any of the three drop-off locations between now and 30 November with toiletry donations. Whether contributing a single item or multiple products, every donation makes a meaningful difference in ensuring dignity and comfort for the residents of Hensie Vroom House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This campaign exemplifies the spirit of <em>ubuntu,<\/em> showing that when communities come together they can create positive change for those who need support most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact Elizma Viljoen,
