Community Newspaper Group sales manager Melinda Prinsloo said the YWCA did exceptional work in the community and as a newspaper it was important to give back to community groups.
‘We asked all our loyal advertisers to get onboard so that we could donate to this worthy cause.’
The organisation will hold a Christmas family friendly event on Sunday with proceeds going to its programs.
