HOT CARES - Turffontein Congregational Church

Loading player...
The Turffontein Congregational Church is a heritage site in Johannesburg and has been servicing the community for 126 years.

Over the years, the environment and surroundings have changed from a prominent affluent mining community to an area inhabited by those less fortunate and need a helping hand.

The church assists the community with alcohol and drug addiction, as well as providing the homeless with food parcels. Some members of the congregation, unfortunately, are not always able to provide their own homes with food, so the church assists in this way too. Sadly, the church has been affected by crime which has impacted their ability to service the needs of the community. An alarm system and other security measures have been put in place and Hot Cares is honoured to be able to provide the church with an urn, microwave, kettle, crockery and other items which are not only used for the members of the church but also for fundraising events which the church relies on.

If you can help any further please mail hotcares@hot919.co.za.
