The annual pre-loved SHIFT clothing sale is on again August 3 and 4 at the Byron Bay Surf Club.
Co-organiser Leslie Ford, from Red Ginger, told The Echo, ‘We still need donations of your good, used clothing’.
‘Donations can be dropped into the Bell & Ford store in Bangalow or the Red Ginger store in Byron Bay until July 31’.
Empower women
‘The heart of the SHIFT Project is to educate and empower women at risk of homelessness, helping them regain control over their lives and futures. The pre-loved clothing sale directly supports this noble endeavour. Homelessness is a pervasive issue, particularly among women who often face unique challenges such as domestic violence, single motherhood, and systemic inequality.
‘More than just a fundraiser, the sale embodies the values of sustainability and community.
‘Each purchase not only reduces waste, but also directly contributes to transforming lives’.
