Charity store boasts lots of hidden treasures
The store has been truly blessed by the generosity of the community through both donations and purchases.
If you haven’t yet visited the Port Shepstone Hidden Treasure Charity Store, you’ll find it conveniently located on the premises of the Port Shepstone Baptist Church, on the corner of Scott Street.
The store, which is a registered NPO, first opened its doors on April 1, 2016, and is lovingly run by a dedicated group of volunteers. This year, the charity shop celebrates nearly a decade of faithful service to the community.
Alet Grubb, who was instrumental in opening the shop with the assistance of the church, expressed gratitude for the continued support over the years.
She said the store has been truly blessed by the generosity of the community through both donations and purchases.
The store management also extends heartfelt thanks to loyal customers for their ongoing support. All proceeds from the charity shop go directly back into the community, assisting elderly residents, women and children in and around the Port Shepstone area.
The charity shop ministry was initiated by the Women’s Department of the Baptist Union of Southern Africa and has since inspired a growing chain of similar stores across the country.
Residents are encouraged to clear out their cupboards and donate pre-loved, gently used, or even new items, including household goods, furniture, electrical appliances, books, cutlery, clothing, and toys. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference.
For those unable to deliver donations, collection arrangements can be made by contacting Alet on 084 3021941, or follow them on Facebook: Port Shepstone Hidden Treasure Charity Store.
