Charity shop desperately needs donations

Little Eden Society’s charity shop appealed to community members for donations as the pandemic continues to take its toll on the organisation.

Over the course of lockdown, the store noticed a decrease in the number of donations received.

“Because of this, the shop is not able to meet demand,” said Nichollette Muthige, Litlle Eden public relations and communications officer.

“We are calling on community members, learners and schools to assist by donating good quality clothing to the shop.”

Clothing items are the shop’s best sellers.

Nichollette said learners who participate in the clothing collection drive may receive a letter from the society confirming their participation.This can be used for their community service accreditation.Located at 33 Eighth Avenue, the charity shop assists the society by generating an income for it.

The society cares for 300 children and adults with intellectual disability.The majority of the residents were abandoned, while others come from indigent families who are unable to support them financially.

Donations can be delivered to the society (79 Wagenaar Road) or the charity store.Contact the society on 011 609 7246 or at info@littleeden.org.za
