Two Gladstone region second-hand stores are slashing prices by 50 per cent in a bid to help people struggling with the COVID-19 financial crisis.
Vinnies stores at Gladstone and Calliope will have everything in store at half price to raise funds for vital services in the community on Friday and Saturday. Vinnies is having a half-price sale.
The half-price sale applies to everything in store, including clothing, accessories, household items and furniture.
Vinnies Queensland general manager of operations Drew Eide said the current statewide rental shortage and recent reduction of Jobseeker payments meant more support was needed to fund vital emergency assistance, poverty, and housing and homelessness support.
