Hospice Vaal Charity Shop makes a good move to Golf Park
There is much excitement about the new location, as the new location is more convenient than the previous one in Henley-on-Klip.
MEYERTON – The Hospice Vaal Charity Shop officially opened its doors at Golf Park Shopping Centre on October 31.
But this shop is more than a place to find a bargain.
Every item sold helps Wide Horizon care for patients grappling with life-limiting illnesses, many of whom cannot afford to pay for their care.
The shop has also created employment for people in the area, giving jobs to the unemployed while strengthening the community it serves.
The official opening enjoyed a warm turnout from community members.
Wide Horizon Hospice CEO Tersia Burger marked the occasion by untying the ribbon, where after Father Reggie blessed the building.
“This will be a place that enables us to do the work that we have to do; it’s such an important source of income,” says Burger.
The money raised goes towards the medication, meals and nursing care that keep patients comfortable and treated with dignity, and supports their families through some of the most difficult days of their lives.
The shop has a fresh new look and a wide range of preloved clothing, books, furniture, homeware, toys at affordable prices.
