With just 11 days remaining until the special Children's Vat Verniet Tafel event, the community initiative is gearing up to deliver a memorable day for local families. This dedicated project, focused on showing love visibly through practical help, is currently finalising preparations to ensure the day runs smoothly and provides maximum impact. While the support from Potchefstroom has been encouraging, the organisation has issued an urgent call for specific donations and professional services to meet the remaining operational needs.

🛎️ Last-Minute Appeal: Critical Supplies and Services Required

To ensure the Children's Vat Verniet Tafel event can accommodate all activities and provide comprehensive support to the attending families, the team needs immediate assistance with several key logistical items and services. Community members and businesses who can assist are strongly encouraged to come forward now.

Professional Services Needed:

The Vat Verniet Tafel is looking for volunteers to share their professional skills on the day:

Hairdressers: To offer simple cuts or styling to the children, adding a special touch to their day.

Logistical and Supply Needs:

These items are essential for running the event and completing the family hampers:

Christmas Trees: To help create a festive and magical atmosphere for the children.
Toiletries : To complete the essential "hampers" being prepared for the attending families.
Ice: Necessary for keeping drinks and perishable goods cool during the event.
Polystyrene Glasses: For serving refreshments to all attendees.
Empty Bottles: For decanting and dividing donated soap products into manageable portions for the family hampers.
Mobile Toilets: Essential sanitary facilities to ensure the comfort and health of all attendees throughout the day.

🌟 Ensuring Every Detail is Covered

The success of the Vat Verniet Tafel relies on the community filling these crucial last-minute gaps. Providing professional services like hairdressing and essential logistical elements like mobile toilets and ice are just as important as the food and toy donations in creating a safe, joyous, and dignified experience for all beneficiaries.

The project leaders remain dedicated to their goal of spreading practical love and hope within the community and are counting on the generous spirit of Potchefstroom residents to help cross the finish line for this important event.

For any enquiries regarding donations or the project, community members are encouraged to contact 067 080 2757. Those who wish to contribute to the hamper and package drive can drop off their donations at Mooirivier Beskerming.
