Shelter’s Pakus di Pruga – Every Saturday

Pakus di Pruga volunteers

Have you discovered the Shelter’s every Saturday Garage Sale yet? The Pakus di Pruga is housed in the building across the street from Brandaris Café and is manned by volunteers from 8 am to 5 pm. And there’s plenty of free parking!

On a visit last Saturday we found lots and lots of books, racks and racks of clothes, house wares, a child’s bike, appliances, even an old refrigerator (the freezer works but not the fridge!). And the nice thing is that new things come in all the time. You’ll most likely find another treasure trove there next Saturday.

To donate items you may drop them off at the Shelter on the Lagoen Road during opening hours. Small things (like books) may be brought to the Garage Sale itself. It’s a Win-Win-Win situation: people get rid of what they don’t want, other people buy what they want, and the Shelter can be kept open for unwanted cats and dogs.
