SENCIT RESTHAVEN OLD AGE HOME (Methodist Homes for the Aged) Sencit was an initiative by the Rusthof Methodist Church’s to offer a safe and loving home for the less fortunate, the destitute and abandoned senior citizens within the Helderberg basin. Currently Sencit provides accom modation to 41 residents. (15 Gent’s and 26 Ladies) that in general can’t afford the full cost of rental at old aged homes. One of their biggest challenges are to get the community involved – to serve on the Management Committee or become donors ensuring a financial break even month to month or volunteers coming around from time to time to give physical assistance. Our church (Strand Methodist) assists the residents by providing them with “goodie bags”. We have vouched to a monthly amount given by the church for funding and purchase of toiletries to make up “goodie bags”. These “goodie bags” are distributed by dedicated members to the residents on the 1st day of every month.
