Don’t Ditch It!

Red Cross

Did one of your Christmas presents not quite hit the mark this year? Well don’t worry, you’re not alone. According to eBay, about 16 million unwanted gifts are received every year – which could translate to millions of items sitting dormant and unused around houses everywhere, or a perfect opportunity to make a much-needed donation to the Australian Red Cross. Donate to one of the Red Cross’ 164 shops across the country and help raise vital funds for their work with disadvantaged youth in the process. Whether clothing, homewards, bric-a-brac, or another kitchen appliance you just don’t need, Red Cross will accept donations with open arms. And what a perfect opportunity to finish your Issue 16 Helping Hand Assignmint! Don’t forget to share your re-gifting experience on social media using the hash tag #assignmint.
