Warm the cockles of your heart by donating good-quality winter woollies to your local Red Cross store and you could receive 10% off your purchase at the same time.
“There’s been so much demand for winter woollies that our stores are already running out of stock and there’s still plenty of cold weather to come,” says Olivia Cozzolino, Australian Red Cross General Manager Merchandise – Retail.”
Red Cross stores can’t get enough coats, jackets, knitwear, tops, pants, hats, beanies, gloves and scarves as well as homewares, such as blankets,” says Ms Cozzolino. If you donate 10 winter clothing or homewares items to a Red Cross store, you’ll receive 10% off any full-price purchase you make in store*.
“We are reaching out to the community in the hope that people will be willing to clean out their closets and cupboards and bring along any winter clothing or homewares,” says Ms Cozzolino.
Red Cross has 164 retail stores around the country and donated goods make up 90% of the stock. The proceeds from sales at the retail stores help to support the work of Red Cross, whether it’s during an emergency or services such as a reassuring daily phone call to isolated or elderly Australians or a nutritious breakfast to children who need a healthy start to the day.
