Fill a box with ‘stationery’ love
The East Point Shopping Centre, in collaboration with the Boksburg Advertiser, pleads for companies and individuals on the East Rand to support underprivileged schoolchildren by donating a box filled with stationery.
This year, the shopping centre is giving new meaning to the phrase “thinking out of the box” by coming up with an exciting and unique idea for a Christmas tree.
In front of the Pick n Pay Hypermarket main entrance (situated at Entrance One of the centre), is a huge Christmas tree made from 77 boxes.
These boxes need to be filled with new or unwanted stationery and a lot of love. The stationery will then be donated to underprivileged schoolchildren.
So show you care with the Boxes Full of Love initiative and help a schoolchild enter the 2017 school year with stationery and a lunchbox.
This initiative is the East Point Shopping Centre’s and Advertiser’s way of giving back to the community this festive season.
Some ideas to fill the box with: plastic lunchboxes and bottles, non-perishable lunchbox snacks/juice, pencil case/tin, coloured pencils, HB pencils, pens, crayons, glue sticks, rulers, scissors, pencil sharpeners, erasers, A4 white paper, A4 clear file, A4 exercise books, plastic book covers and Sellotape.
Stationery can be dropped off here:
• East Point Shopping Centre, centre management (c/o Rietfontein and North Rand roads, Jansen Park, Boksburg)
• Boksburg Advertiser offices (20 Sydney Road, Ravenswood, Boksburg)
For more information, contact the centre management of the East Point Shopping Centre on 011 823 3730 or the Boksburg Advertiser on 087 285 5196.
The last day to donate stationery is January 10, 2017.
Companies/individuals can fill as many boxes as they like.
Once you have donated, make it fun and nominate other companies/individuals to open their hearts too!
A little help goes a long way and a new pen can write a bright future.
