Thank you
for your Support!
BACKGROUND
“HOPE FOR WINTER” was launched 17 years ago, aiming to encourage the public to collect winter essentials
for the less fortunate during the cold winter months. The project has gained nation-wide following
and support from the public, local business and especially the media. Some of the organisations involved
in the HOPE FOR WINTER campaign are; PEN(PTA), MES (JNB, CPT, PE and Kempton Park),
lsinkwa Setheku (KwaZulu-Natal) and Tower of Hope (Bloemfontein). In addition to collections
coordinated by the organisations whose clients benefit from the HOPE FOR WINTER campaign, there are over 200
donation drop-off points located nation-wide for those who wish to contribute.
HOW DOES THE CAMPAIGN WORK?
A national campaign is launched every year to invite the public to make a tangible difference in the lives of people
and their communities unable to afford the basics needed to survive harsh winter conditions. The campaign starts
on 1 June every year and South-Africans are encouraged to collect winter essentials such as jackets, scarfs, non-perishable
food products and other items that may be used to minimise the adverse effects of winter. The public can either
drop these items off at any of the 200+ collection points nationally, or are invited to distribute the items themselves and share
their story on our Facebook
page, #Hope‑Is‑Here.
HOW ARE THE FUNDS UTILISED?
Funds raised during the campaign will be distributed among the four main beneficiaries/ partners to support the
services they render to the communities they serve. All goods collected are distributed to those in need within the areas
where the goods are collected.

AGTERGROND
'WINTERHOOP' is 17 jaar gelede op die been gebring met die doel om die publiek aan te moedig om
noodsaaklike benodigdhede vir die koue wintermaande vir minder bevoorregtes in te samel. Die projek het
oor die afgelope paar jaar landswyd aansienlike aanhang en ondersteuning van die publiek, plaaslike besighede
en die media ontvang. 'n Paar van die organisasies wat by die WINTERHOOP‑veldtog betrokke is,
is PEN (Pretoria), MES (Johannesburg, Kaapstad, Port Elizabeth en Kempton Park),
lsinkwa Setheku (KwaZulu‑Natal) en Toring van Hoop(Bloemfontein). Benewens die insamelings wat gekoördineer
word deur die organisasies waarvan die kliënte bevoordeel word deur die WINTERHOOP‑veldtog, is daar 'n bykomende 200 punte landwyd waar skenkings
afgelaai kan word vir dié wat graag 'n bydrae wil
lewer.
HOE WERK WINTERHOOP?
'n Landswye veldtog word jaarliks onderneem waartydens die publiek genooi word om 'n tasbare verskil te maak in die
lewens en gemeenskappe van mense wat nie die basiese benodigdhede kan bekostig om in die strawwe winteromstandighede te
oorleef nie. Die veldtog begin elke jaar op 1 Junie en Suid‑Afrikaners word aangemoedig om noodsaaklike middele in te
samel, soos jasse, serpe, niebederfbare kosprodukte en enige ander item wat gebruik kan word om die erge winteromstandighede die hoof te bied. Die publiek kan hierdie items aflaai by enige
van die 200+ aflaaipunte landwyd, maar word ook uitgenooi om produkte self uit te deel en dan hul stories op ons
Facebookblad,
#Hope‑Is‑Here te vertel.
HOE WORD FONDSE GEBRUIK?
Fondse wat met die veldtog ingesamel word, word verdeel tussen die vier hooforganisasies om hulle werk in die gemeenskappe
waaraan hulle diens lewer, te ondersteun. Alles wat ingesamel word, word aan behoeftiges in die omgewing waar dit ingesamel is,
uitgedeel.
