Australian Red Cross Donation Day
Did you know on average, each Aussie throws away 23kgs of clothes every year? Much of it goes to landfill, where it sits for decades, when it could be going to those in need.
We've partnered with Red Cross to collect unwanted clothing at a drive-thru day on Sat 28 May! Donate your pre-loved clothes, linen and towels to help those in need, as well as the environment by saving them from landfill.
When: Sat 28 May - 27 June, 9am - 2pm
Where: Strathfield Council Depot, 1 Weeroona Rd, Strathfield
