Visitors can find anything and everything from clothing, furniture, kitchenware, ornaments, jewellery, books and more.
The quality of items on sale speaks volumes.
The NPO’s charity shop coordinator, Carla Steenkamp, and her team sort through each item donated to ensure things resold are in good working order, clean and ready for reuse. Items are then distributed weekly to their 10 charity shops.
Each charity shop is run by a shop manager who has volunteers who donate their time.
