As the name states, children are encouraged to look around their homes for unused items that can be donated to charity shops for resale.
Hospice East Rand charity shops remain an important part of the organisation’s fundraising, which enables it to provide the high level of care and support to people diagnosed with a life-limiting illness who are not in a position to pay for this care.
By selecting and bringing one thing to school, the Shangri-La Academy learners made a big difference for their community.
“We were overwhelmed by the support received especially considering this is a small school,” said Jonquil Siepman, marketing and media liaison for Hospice East Rand.
“We left with a small truck full of items that can be resold and for this we are exceptionally grateful.”
Residents who have used items lying around at home that are still in working order are encouraged to donate them to Hospice East Rand.
