Dig deep for warm clothes appeal

Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay residents are encouraged to rummage through their closets and wardrobes to find surplus warm wear to donate it to those in need.

Salvos Stores are running the Donate for a Discount program, with anyone donating warm winter clothes during July set to receive a 20 per cent discount on in-store or online purchases.

Salvos Stores chief executive Matt Davis said the drive will ensure current stock is renewed.

“At Salvos Stores, we want to ensure that we have the right stock for our customers looking to shop pre-loved for their winter wear,” he said.

“This is why we are calling on the public to take a look in their wardrobe and see if they can spare a few winter items this chilly season.

“While you’re at it , you will get a great discount in store or online from our great range of products, so you can feel good whilst getting yourself a bargain.”

Mr Davis said any warm clothes in good condition are welcome.

“We are looking for those essential winter items, such as jumpers, jackets, beanies, and other warm clothes,” he said.

“Please head into your local Salvos store and donate your winter goods to make a difference in other people’s lives.”

The Donate for a Discount program will run until Saturday, July 30.
