The annual pre-loved SHIFT clothing sale is on again on June 28 at the Byron Bay Surf Club.
Organisers are asking for good quality clothing that you no longer wear to donate to the sale.
Leslie Ford from Red Ginger says, ‘Donations can be dropped into the Bell & Ford store in Bangalow, or the Red Ginger store in Byron Bay anytime now’.
‘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’ she says.
‘More than just a fundraiser, the sale embodies the values of sustainability and community’, Leslie added.
‘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.
‘Please donate now to help make this sale the much awaited event that it has become’.
