Hirsch’s Meadowdale will be a hive of activity on June 13, when the store’s charity drive aims to build a mountain of clothes.
Coupled with this the day will see the first Hirsch’s “Banting Exhibition” taking place on the East Rand and the entrance fee to the event will be a bag of clothes.
“Hirsch’s and Tru-Banting are offering a fun and exciting opportunity for anyone interested, to experience the benefits that the ‘banting’ lifestyle brings,” said Brigitte Thysse, public relations and marketing officer for Hirsch’s East Rand.
“Whether you are just getting started, wanting to get started or are struggling to adjust to your change of lifestyle, this is an opportunity for you to take a walk through the ‘banting exhibition’ and find all the products and answers you are looking for.”
Visitors to the exhibition can expect nutritionists on site, live food demonstrations, grass-fed meat products, ready-to-mix banting products and much more.
The event will be centred around building the “biggest mountain of clothes”, which will go to Hirsch’s “Clothes to Good” campaign.
The “mountain” will be built just outside the store’s door.
Hirsch’s and educational DSTV’s EarthBeat (a programme on sustainable environmental solutions) have partnered to collect secondhand clothes for Clothes to Good, the national company that purchases secondhand clothes, to raise money for sustainable education programmes for a variety of schools in the area.
Money raised from the collection of these clothes will go towards lesson plans on sustainable living for schools selected by Hirsch’s.
Clothes to Good sorts the clothes and sends them to a variety of charitable organisations around the country, where they are rehabilitated by the residents.
The event will run from 10am until 2pm, at Hirsch’s Meadowdale, at 12 Herman Road, Meadowdale.
