Geelong's the Red Cross Craft Shop is more than a money spinner is the place for a cup of tea and chat. Yesterday the store running smoothly, with the manager Kathleen Lancaster contributed $ 10,500 to the Red Cross.
Crafts store has donated $ 85,000 to organizations in the four years since opening. But Mrs Lancaster said the store would not survive without a dedicated team of volunteers.
"The people from the hospital around the top and have a little look around, so has become a place for a chat and a cup of tea," he said.
"That is one of the main reasons why we do not want to lose it."
Mrs. Lancaster, who has manned the store three days a week for four years, the Red Cross said more than worthy of the time.
"We not only help in here, in Australia, but all countries in the world," he said.
"When you see a small Red Cross, you may not give a lot but you know that little has helped."
Red Cross fund-raising coordinator Victoria Stuart Lowe said the store profits are injected back into the community of Geelong.
He said the money has been spent for the two patient transport vehicles, as well as funding the Breakfast Club.
"We provide nutritional breakfast for children who will not eat breakfast. They also learn about healthy breakfast choices," said Lowe said. www.geelonginfo.com
