The VBC hosts a bi-annual flea market where members can sell gently-used toys, books, clothes, equipment, furniture for babies and toddlers plus maternity clothing as well as pregnancy/childcare books. The flea markets are attended by members and non-members and usually take place in early Spring and early Autumn.
The next VBC Flea Market will take place on 22 April 2012 from 9:00 to 13:00, at the Don Bosco Haus - St. Veit gasse 25, 1130 Vienna. The flea markets are successful every year due to the generous volunteerism of VBC members. The goodies sold in the coffee corner are home-made and donated by VBC members from all over the world. All proceeds from the coffee corner are donated to charities. VBC members also provide the extra hands that are always needed the day of the event to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Charities we have supported to date include: St Anna Kinderspital Cancer Research, Rote Nasen Clown Doctors, Diözesaner Hilfsfonds für Schwangere in Notsituationen, Caritas Socialis Mutter-Kind Wohnheim, Project Centipede, The Nina Foundation, the Silver Star Society, Center for Youth Integration in Belgrade and MAIA.
The proceeds of our coffee/cake corner from the spring Flea Market will be going to a chartiy for sponsoring a child. More details on the charity will follow shortly.
Leftover clothes and toys were collected by an Diakonie who helps persons with disabilities, children and young people.
Thank you everyone for all your support and generosity!
