The Hope Shop needs shop supplies donated please!
New Pop-up Op Shop (at Manly village centre) is in need of some large, smart looking SHELVING UNITS to hold jeans, accessories, books, and brick-a-brack donations arriving daily into the shop. We also need the following:
# Clothing rails, strong and portable steel frame,
# A stand or poles to hang our many scarves/handbags,
# Nice labels for pricing our expanding designer range.
# Section dividers for organising items on rails
# Clothing hangars for skirts and trousers,
# Mannequins, full or half body, for display
Best times for delivery of these items is directly to The Hope Shop at 54/65 Rawhiti Rd, Manly, on Saturdays between 9-4.30 or on a Wednesday between 12.30-2.30. If you can help us with any of these listed items please message me so we can discuss delivery or pick-up options.
All funds raised by this new pop-up op shop goes to support local youth here on the Coast, on the 'Journey Back to Awesome' program, with professional support and mentoring to help our young people find a way out of depression or challenging times.
The Hope Shop has raised enough money so far to fund an extra 5 young people in need, through the program. Which is awesome!
Your quality new or pre-loved clothing, shoes or other items are also gratefully received and we are also selling raffle tickets at the shop for some amazing Xmas prizes including brand new large screen TVs.
So please help us continue our good work, and help us get the op shop more organised, so our wonderful shoppers will find it easier to find their treasures in store.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
