Elkanah House has had such an overwhelming response to our Winter Warmth Drive that we will be continuing with the collection for the rest of July. There is such a dire need for Winter Warmth in our community, so if you can, please help donate warm blankets or clothes so that everyone can feel the “Madiba Warmth” this winter. We will be donating these care packages to the patients admitted to the Hospital of Hope intermediate care facilities, CTICC as well as Brackengate. #LovingBeyondSelf #TheElkanahWay #LiveLoveLearn
