Second-hand selling to benefit Cafs

AFTER the success of the first warehouse clearance sale in November, Cafs held another event last weekend.

The warehouse stocked and sold second hand and pre-loved women’s, men’s and kids’ clothing, toys and homewares with prices starting at $1, with the aim of collecting funds for various Cafs programs.

Cafs CEO Wendy Sturgess said such initiatives strive to care for vulnerable children and their families which includes foster care,

financial counselling, men’s behaviour change and youth care.

“We love to see bargain hunters come along and help us clear out the warehouse while supporting a very worthy cause,” she said.

In addition to the $2500 raised from the first warehouse sale, Cafs’ second warehouse sale attracted over 100 customers and brought it over $1000 over the two days.

While the sales have proved a success for the organisation, Ms Sturgess said Cafs has not yet planned another sale but would keep the community updated if it does.

In addition, Ms Sturgess said Cafs’ own op shops, known as Wozzles, were closed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Cafs will keep the community updated on what happens in that space as soon as we are able,” she said.
