Since the Toy Story campaign was launched at the end of October, thousands of toys have been distributed to underprivileged children in hospitals, homes and orphanages in KZN. Around R1.2 million in cash donations have been received from people all over KZN. This money is being used for food hampers that will help feed children during the December holidays when they will not have access to school meals.
