Junkie Charity Store in Linden is celebrating 16 years of raising funds for local charities through the resale of donated goods.
The store sells second-hand furniture, books, clothing and electronics, with proceeds supporting organisations such as Johannesburg Child Welfare and Princess Alice Adoption Home.
It also collects donated items and provides pickup services across Johannesburg as demand for affordable, sustainable shopping grows.
