The Patch Store had a pyjama party for a good cause on Tuesday 5 August, raising awareness for a local winter woollies appeal.
Staff dressed in their finest bedtime attire and served up brews in style in support of the Foothills Community Care annual socks and underwear winter appeal.
“I think every day needs to be pyjama day,” said manager Jas.
The cafe wanted to get some attention around the appeal and thought a pyjama day would be a great way to get locals on board, while having a giggle at the same time.
“The customers loved it too, some even came in dressed up, and their kids did as well,” said Jas.
“We would totally do it again,” she said.
The donation box has already received a number of essential winter items, from socks to thermals and leggings.
Foothills runs the drive every year, which means the charity can distribute new socks and underwear to locals in need of an extra hand up.
“We are so excited for the many local groups and organisations who have jumped on board with us this winter for our Socks and Underwear appeal. We have had schools, businesses and churches collecting for us,” said the group’s social media page.
“Tuesday was a really successful day – we all had a lot of fun,” said Jas.
“We love being able to support our local community and people doing it tough at the moment,” she said.
The Patch Store will be collecting for Foothills as a donation point until the end of August and is accepting donations of any brand-new socks and underwear.
