Fill your green stocking at Emmaus this Christmas
We're encouraging you to "fill your green stocking" at Emmaus this Christmas.
Emmaus shops have a range of Christmas choices. With a plethora of donated items on sale, why not incorporate Emmaus into your Christmas shop and mix old and new? You could give someone a festive poinsettia in a vintage vase, fresh tea in a pre-loved teapot, or homemake cupcakes on a beautiful second-hand plate.
Not only would you be giving someone a personalised, unique gift, Christmas shopping in this way saves items going to landfill, saves money, and helps formerly homeless people at the same time. That's true Christmas spirit.
Emmaus Media Officer Caroline Mead said: "Emmaus shops offer the perfect chance to combine seasonable charitable giving with your Christmas shopping. Come and have a look around - you never know what unexpected treasures you'll uncover."
You can see some typical items you might find in an Emmaus shop here.
