EACH time a new set of Checkers collectables are launched, shoppers frantically buy them up, trade with others and even sell them for small fortunes. Inspired by this, Paula Seach and her family traded with collectors for non-perishable foods to donate to Toti Community Assist (TCA).

Paula explained that she reached out on Facebook and countless people came through, assisted and donated to the cause.

Wayne Seach said that the overarching goal is to give back to the community. He added that it being close to Christmas, the need for food is ever-present among impoverished and less-fortunate members of the community.

“We have been a part of TCA and have known Dalene Heath, its founder, for the past three or four years. It is a good cause because the work they do in the community is so vital. It’s amazing how the community comes together to support such organisations,” said Wayne.

He joked that he’s glad it’s over as he would run up and down for sticky trades. Wayne thanked the Barefoot Beach House for providing a venue for the handover, and all the generous sticky-traders for their contributions.
