Many of us have belongings tucked away in our closets and cupboards—items we no longer use but still hold sentimental value. For many, especially those with ties to distant countries, these objects serve as cherished connections to the past. Now, the Salvation Army, one of Australia’s leading charities, is bringing new life to these donated treasures by showcasing them across its Melbourne stores. Tune in to this podcast featuring Ruchi Sharma from the Indian Society of Victoria, as she shares how the Indian community is coming together to donate their pre-loved items and make a meaningful impact.
