Trinityhouse Preparatory School held their annual ‘Beanies, Socks and Blankets’ winter charity drive recently. The children generously donated 346 beanies, 115 scarves, 85 blankets, 76 pairs of socks and 32 pairs of gloves. A variety of winter clothing, toys and books were also donated. All donations went to Rays of Hope, who thanked Trinityhouse for their on-going support of the impoverished community of Alexandra. The donations will go a long way to keeping underprivileged children warm in the chilly winter months.
