A year ago, Solidarity Helping Hand’s popular charity donation shop, Ons Winkel (Our Shop) opened its doors to assist the Amanzimtoti community.
The organisation will official celebrate its first birthday on Wednesday, 24 February, and will offer incredible savings and fun-filled prize giveaways in honour of this milestone. The week long celebration will include pop-a-balloon, gifts, 50 per cent discounts, free pancakes and a lucky draw. One lucky shopper could also stand a chance to win either a hamper or a R200 shopping voucher. To enter, shoppers need to spend R50 or more and the winner will be announced on Saturday, 27 February.
“We are so grateful and happy to serve this wonderful community. We thank all those who assisted us and who will continue to assist us,” said Karen Duyvestyn, the owner of Ons Winkel, Amanzimtoti, one of almost 60 such charity shops nationwide, situated on 25 Main Road in Doonside. “All are welcome to celebrate our first birthday.”
The store is open six days a week from 9am to 5pm on weekdays and 8am to 12pm on Saturdays.
“We ensure that all necessary health protocols are followed such as the use of face masks and hand sanitisers, as well as allowing a limited number of shoppers in the store.”
Ons Winkel also appeals for donations of clothing, furniture, antiques, kitchenware, bedding, curtains, toys, shoes, sports and technological equipment to anything else cluttering your home.
“We are also advertising items on our Facebook page, so residents can browse through online and pick up their goods at our store,” she added.
Helping Hand’s Study Fund provides interest-free study loans to needy students who qualify to study further, but do not have the financial means to do so. The proceeds are also used for several other projects, such as children and senior organisations that are aimed at alleviating, ending and preventing poverty.
