I’m looking at you Target…

This weekend Danelle, Ellie and 7 other girls from our church community head off to Bali to get involved with some of the work that is going on in orphanages over there. As they go they take as much good second hand clothing as they can carry to give to those who have very very little.

Danelle also sends clothing over with anyone who is going to Bali and the front room of our house (that in most homes is a home theatre!) is now a Bali storeroom chock full of the next batch of stuff to be sent across.

Yesterday we got word that Target were disposing of several hundred women’s singlets that they had been unable to sell. They were ‘tipping’ them in a skip bin… And not just tipping them but slashing them to ribbons first so no one could use them or bring them back for a refund.

They were told of the Bali project and asked if they would be prepared to donate them – clean new clothes – to people with very little – but the answer was ‘no’.

Not their policy…

What a bunch of knobs…

What can I say but its a clear case of stupidity on steroids…
