It was a heart warming moment when Solidarity Helping Hand’s popular charity donation shops, Ons Winkel (Our Shop) owner’s cut a ribbon to unveil a new store in Amanzimtoti on Monday, 24 February.
The organisation hopes to make a real difference in the community.
Karen Duyvestyn who is the owner of Ons Winkel Amanzimtoti, one of almost 60 such charity shops nationwide, which is situated on 25 Main Road in Doonside said, “We are really looking forward to making a difference in and around Amanzimtoti, and we welcome all residents with open arms.”
Anything can be donated to Ons Winkel from clothing, furniture, antiques, kitchenware, bedding, curtains, toys, shoes, sports and technological equipment to anything else cluttering your home. Ons Winkel takes these goods and converts them into money used for Helping Hand’s Study Funds, among other things.
