For over six decades, Woodside Sanctuary has offered various programs and services to help improve the lives of South Africans with severe mental and physical disabilities. To continue its work, the organization relies on the continued support of volunteers and donors. Those who would like to get involved can do so in many ways.
Woodside Sanctuary accepts monetary donations through its website and welcomes volunteers to assist with therapy and personal care activities. The organization also offers a sponsorship program that gives supporters the opportunity to cover the full monthly cost of caring for a specific Woodside resident. In addition to the satisfaction that comes with helping someone in need, those who participate in the sponsorship program receive a photo and history of the resident they are sponsoring as well as a certificate of appreciation from Woodside Sanctuary.
Other ways to get involved with Woodside include sponsoring a resident’s birthday party and procuring a MySchool Card, which triggers a donation to Woodside Sanctuary every time it is used at specific stores. For more information about how to support Woodside Sanctuary, visit www.woodside.co.za.
