One of their main projects over the years has been the " Bargain Box" run since 1963.
This extraordinary shop, with humble beginnings, is now run entirely with the voluntary effort of the Hermanus Rotary Club and much appreciated community volunteers.
The shop serves:
- To raise funds with which The Hermanus Rotary Club can better serve the local Community.
- Fellowship!
The Bargain Box is run by volunteers from the Rotary Club and the community. It is open 6 days a week throughout the year.
The clothing and other bric-a-brac is donated by the public and good quality clothing at affordable prices, is sold.
All income generated in the shop goes back into the local community of Hermanus helping with many community projects that are supported due to the success of the “Bargain Box”.
If you are moving house, down sizing or just having a sort out of your cupboards etc., we are always very appreciative to receive donations of your unwanted good quality adult, children’s clothing, puzzles, toys, bed linen, curtains, cushions, household items of china, glass, kitchen gadgets and small electrical items.
This abbreviated list will give some idea of how far the Rotary’s wheel’s spinning has reached.
