Stepping Stone Hospice’s charity shop staff and their volunteers had felt the love this month and wanted to share it with the community. The charity shop at the Stats Building, 2 Fore Street, New Redruth, Alberton, had offered unbeatable deals to locals while raising vital funds for Stepping Stone Palliative Care Services.
The charity shop had the perfect gift for loved ones during this month of love. Tebogo Segabetla, the shop manager, had expressed excitement and pride in offering fantastic deals to customers. “Our shelves are overflowing with romantic trinkets and a beautiful selection of books to make this month even more special. Your purchases will support our hospice and the incredible work we do for our community. Through our clinical palliative care, we aimed to improve the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families,” Segabetla had said.
The delighted shop manager had shared that dedicated volunteers had been working tirelessly to sort and price donations, ensuring that everyone had found something they loved.
Our 5-star Association of Palliative Care Facilities (APCC)-accredited hospice had relied greatly on community generosity, public sector support, fundraising, bequests, donations, patient accounts, and the sale of second-hand clothing and goods. Because of our commitment to improving quality of life, we treat everyone who qualifies, regardless of their financial and social circumstances.“The charity shop welcomes various donations, including household furniture, general bric-a-brac, clothing, linens, appliances, crockery, cutlery, glassware, books, sporting equipment, and more. If you have any of these items or other preloved items to donate, please contact us at 010 442 5201/5059 to arrange collection for bulk and larger items,” Segabetla added.
Locals who wish to donate their preloved items may drop them off at our charity shop. The shop is open from 09:00 to 17:00 on weekdays and 08:00 to 14:00 on Saturdays.
