This Easter, the team at Protea Hotel by Marriott Johannesburg Balalaika Sandton is serving up something extra heartwarming—and we’re not just talking about hot cross buns.
Their latest initiative, Pass It On: Blankets, Meals, and a Brighter Tomorrow, is all about sharing the spirit of the season in the most meaningful way possible.
Running until April 16, 2025, the hotel is calling on staff, guests, and locals to donate blankets and tinned food to ensure that no one in their community is left without warmth or nourishment.
- The idea is simple: instead of discarding unused or forgotten items, let’s repurpose them to help someone else get through the colder months with comfort and dignity. You don’t need to clear out your entire pantry or linen closet—just drop off a non-perishable item or spare blanket at Thamia’s or Merecia’s office between 7 AM and 6 PM, and you’ll be part of something that truly makes a difference.
What to Bring:
– Clean, unused or gently-used blankets
– Tinned or non-perishable food
– Optional: a little love and kindness
Drop-Off Location: Protea Hotel Balalaika Sandton
Deadline: April 16, 2025
Because sometimes, the best kind of giving doesn’t come from a big gesture—it comes from simply passing it on. And that, friends, is a feel-good story worth sharing.
