19.01.2022 Men’s Clothing for ages 20-45 needed A call out to all the men. We are in desperate need for men’s clothes for the 20 to 45 age group. The ladies have been cleaning out their wardrobes but not so much the men. Thanks ladies, now it’s your turn guys. Help us fill the men’s rack with clean, quality clothing. Jeans, trousers, shorts, T shirts, shirts, shoes, jumpers and hoodies are all needed. Ladies, if the men don’t do it, clean out their wardrobes for them. If they haven’t worn it for a while we’ll find someone who will. Donations can be delivered to 5 Innocent Street, Kings Meadows between 9.00 and 12.00 Monday to Friday, or we can pick up if needed, just call 6344 4213. Nothing donated is sold, it just goes to a new home. Thanks heaps everyone.
