The Singapore Red Cross (SRC) has launched its first pop-up store, Shop+, at Dhoby XChange in Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station.

The shop will be around for six months from Oct. 5, 2020.

Donors can drop off items such as consumer electronics, fashion accessories, footwear, sunglasses, and toys at the location.

On the other hand, shoppers can buy both brand-new and preloved items from these categories, as well as Red Cross souvenirs and first aid kits.

These will be sold at "wallet-friendly prices", according to SRC.
