After only six months of trading, the Warkworth Community Shop has given $18,300 to local causes.
The shop gave $3000 each to the Warkworth Volunteer Fire Brigade and Hestia Women’s Refuge in August, before handing over $6300 to Women’s Centre Rodney and $6000 to the Mahurangi River Restoration Trust last month.
Women’s Centre Rodney manager Colleen Julian says she is really grateful to receive all the funds needed to put a shade cloth over the centre playground.
“We never have enough money to cover costs that aren’t operational so this donation means we can complete something that otherwise wouldn’t have been done,” Colleen says.
“The playground is well used and will be even better utilised in summer once the cloth is on – hopefully by the end of this year.”
Funds for the river restoration trust will go towards continuing dredging work.
To donate goods to the shop drop them off at 41 Queen Street. For item pick up contact Christine on 021 0261 3766.
