A Christmas sidewalk sale is being held on Friday 2 December on Bicentennial Drive opposite the Sunshine Beach State School from 2-6 pm.
The Anglican Church of Noosa helpers suggest people shop early and enjoy the opportunity to purchase Christmas baking, jams and pickles, gifts, crafts, jewellery, table centres, and plants. There are also some major items for sale, including a near-new electric bike and bar stools.
Afternoon refreshments, including specialty coffees, and a sausage sizzle can be enjoyed in the shady grounds of St Andrews Sunshine Beach church.
Funds raised will assist flood-affected families in Pakistan through the Anglican Relief and Development Fund Australia, which reported more than 33 million people in Pakistan have been affected by these floods caused by extraordinary monsoonal rains.
The Reverend Chris Johnson, Senior Minister of ACN stated, “A few weeks ago over 1290 people lost their lives – 453 were children – and more than 12,550 children have been injured. Livelihoods have been destroyed.
“Funds raised on Friday will help provide medical care, emergency tents and basic household and personal needs such as bedding, cooking utensils and clean water.”
A very special item is a new electric foldable bike, purchased in October this year and ridden no more than 5.3 kms. The purchaser realised she preferred her trusty 21-speed pedal bike, so this brand new bike has been generously donated to raise funds for the Sunshine Beach State School Chaplaincy Program. The purchase price was $588 – so make an offer and it may be yours.
