Clothing sale raises money for community services
The Wardrobe Winners Weekend clothing sale held on November 24 and 25 at Pearl Beach Memorial Hall attracted capacity crowds and raised over $8000.
Two Central Coast charities, Guide Dogs NSW and Central Coast Grandparents Support Services will each receive a donation of $2000 from the proceeds of the sale.
"The chosen charities reflect the diversity of financial and in-kind support that is provided by a number of Central Coast charitable organisations," said Pearl Beach Progress Association president Mr Roger Murray.
"Guide Dogs NSW-ACT offer free services to enhance the quality of life of people who are blind or vision impaired by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility.
"The Central Coast Grandparents Raising Grandchildren program provides support to the growing number of grandparents who find themselves faced with taking on the parental responsibility of their grandchildren.
"The Pearl Beach Progress Association is delighted to make a financial donation to these charities.
"In addition, acknowledgement must be made to the Central Coast Salvation Army who generously loaned clothing racks and provided professional advice.
"A significant donation of unsold clothing has been given to them for distribution to those in need, and for sale in their outlets," said Mr Murray.
The remaining funds from the weekend will go toward the maintenance and upkeep of the Pearl Beach Memorial Hall.
