SUPERPOWERS don't always make you a superhero.
Red Cross Shops around Australia are looking for donations of all types of winter clothes, to give to those in need this winter.
Red Cross Shops Community Engagement Manager, Kate Dear says anyone can be a winter woollies superhero this winter by helping to stock Red Cross Shops with winter clothes.
“Your daggy jumper, unwanted coat or ridiculous beanie can be turned into a phone call to check on an elderly person living alone, a shower and a hot meal for a young homeless person, or clean drinking water for someone affected by a disaster.
“It is as easy as donating a woolly jumper or a warm coat that you probably won’t wear this year” says Kate.
Red Cross Collie volunteer Betty Martin said it’s great to see how many people in Collie donate.
“We are so lucky in Collie to have a lot of donations come in.”
“It’s amazing to see how much stuff comes in to the shop, and we accept everything except for electrical goods,” she said.
