Creative approach to fundraising by “Vinnies”

Those old items found in Thrift Shops are being repackaged as “chic” in an annual retro-clothing, accessories and furniture sale in an Australian SVDP Thrift Shop.

The store has been collecting material for more than three months for the sale. Proceeds go towards providing support for the homeless, poor and families in need.

Vintage stock includes art deco accessories and ornaments, retro dinner sets and crockery, glass, jewellery and stacks of mixed clothing from 1940s to 1980s.
