"Let's be grateful that we can afford to spoil those around us, and that we can spend some of our Christmas budget on gifts that give back to empower others"
20th December 2017
I have a question for you: how does Christmas shopping make you feel? Do you truly enjoy it as a time of giving to those you care about, or is it just another task to complete? We endure traffic and parking problems, as well as spending hundreds of dollars on gifts, decorations, food and packaging, so for a genuinely merry Christmas, it has to come from the heart. But why isn’t this the case for many of us?
Where Did Authentic Giving Go?
We often give out of obligation at this time of year – whether it is to keep up appearances with more distant relatives or to random co-workers during Secret Santas. Giving from a place of obligation can wear us down, as it may ignore our personal values. Authentic giving from a place of joy and gratitude is fun and worth any trouble, but when consumerism leaves us calculating and justifying our choices, the opposite is true.
We are so excited to share our latest news with you.
Moeloco are now partnering with the local social enterprise Fighting Chance. This is another social enterprise like us and they are helping people with special needs by providing them with jobs.
Now your flipflops will be packed lovingly by special people like Lachlan, pictured here.
When I visited Fighting Chance to train their staff on our processes, I was overwhelmed with the joy, seeing how happy the team are and grateful to be serving you.
With this partnership, Moeloco are now able to offer a complimentary next day delivery through their courier service if you are 17 kms within the Frenchs Forest area. The Fighting Chance team love to be out in the community.
Thank you
2017 was certainly a challenging year for me with my health and all the challenges of running a retail business.
The year ended on a high though with lots of support as customers bought up big.
We shall early in the year give you an update on the shoes we will be providing to the children.
It was really exciting to see the number of teens who have joined our youth group. If you have not already, please connect with our youth page @moelocoyouth on instagram.
From the bottom of my heart, I wish each and every one of you beautiful souls the very best of this festive season and what it has to offer. Thank you for being on this crazy journey with me and I am sure it will get even crazier.
Look forward to reconnecting in the 2018.
Our business will be officially closed from Dec 24 till January 2 with the shop operating on holiday hours but we can still respond to requests within 24 hours.
