Hiring Supplies
As a NPO and PBO the centre relies on donations but we also try our utmost to generate funds by different means of fundraising.
The Evolution of Our Hiring Supplies Business
Over the years, the center has hosted numerous functions, prompting residents to opt for purchasing crockery and cutlery instead of continuously hiring supplies, which the center couldn’t afford. From this decision emerged the idea for a sustainable small business. One resident took the initiative to gradually increase the stock available at the center.
In 2010, Hiring Supplies was introduced to the public and has since experienced slow but steady growth. Currently, we offer tables, chairs, linen, crockery, cutlery, and glassware for hire.
The center can now accommodate functions for up to 200 people. However, awareness of our Hiring Supplies has primarily spread through word-of-mouth, resulting in steady business but not enough to expand our stock or alleviate the financial strain on the center.
