On weekday mornings, the hum of William Nicol traffic drifts over Parkmore. Inside Greendale House, shelves fill with donated goods that move quickly. It looks like a simple charity shop, but every sale carries weight far beyond the till.

What You Will Find

Clothing, books, furniture, blankets, and kitchenware appear in rotation. Stock changes constantly, rewarding regular visits. Prices are set for turnover, not boutique curation, making it a genuine bargain stop.

The Cause Behind the Shop

Every purchase funds hospice and palliative care. Proceeds pay for nurses and doctors to visit patients with life‑threatening illnesses in their homes. We urgently need donations of goods or cash as the shop faces a decline in support.

Greendale House runs four thrift shops across Johannesburg in Parkmore, Orange Grove, Norwood, and Kensington. Together they keep usable goods out of landfills while generating funds for medical outreach. Long‑term supporters describe it as a practical way to help community health without writing a cheque.
