PINK BAGS IN YOUR MAIL BOX?

Occasionally, if you live in Oxenford and elsewhere on the Gold Coast... or elsewhere in Queensland perhaps... and possibly Australia... a pink garbage bag will be placed in your letterbox.

These  pink bags are printed with a request for  donations of clothes  but did you know that these bags are from a COMMERCIAL enterprise? Read the bag carefully (yes, the smaller print) and you’ll see that the clothes you so kindly donate are then SOLD to families in ‘disadvantaged’ communities. 

Please consider donating clothes  & goods to one of Oxenford’s 3 op shops instead. Here is a list of some of the other Op Shops on the Gold Coast  (http://opshop.org/opshoplist/QLD/GOLDCOAST) that would love to receive your donations - especially so in light of the recent flood catastrophe to hit Queenslanders.
