THE spirit of sharing is caring is well exemplified by the Bargain Basement charity shop, an initiative by IOI Group’s charity arm Yayasan Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng (Yayasan TSLSC). Yayasan TSLSC executive director and Bargain Basement founder Datin Joanne Wong said she was proud of the collective effort that engaged families, friends and the community in helping the needy. Bargain Basement is a social enterprise that encourages the public to donate pre-loved or unused items, which are resold at their two outlets located in IOI City Mall Putrajaya and IOI Mall Puchong at low prices. Repeat donors and customers are called “Bargain Basement champions”. “Help us by being a Bargain Basement champion,” Wong said, adding that the initiative promoted kindness as well as the 3Rs, namely Reusing, Reducing and Recycling.
