"Last year we made a decision that we really wanted to put a big focus on sustainability to get people talking and to help people out and it was great because we got see how enthusiastic people were about it," Ms Barber said.

"We did our first event down here with a similar idea and people responded really well to it and got involved."

Those who want to participate can make a gold coin donation and take home a bag of the items, with there contribution then going on to help people diagnosed with cancer.

"It's just a gold coin donation and that gets people a bag of what we call 'pre-loved' clothing, that they can then take home and wear," Ms Barber.

"All the money raised through the donations is going to straight to Nyngan's branch of Can Assist, who help people who've been diagnosed with cancer, so it's a good cause all around."

Ms Barber and her mother, Megan, both have friends in Nyngan and say they were inspired to come and offer the program here after seeing how hard the drought had hit the regions.

"We knew we wanted to go to Nyngan because we'd seen how badly people had been affected out that way by the drought and it just seemed like a good opportunity to give people some assistance and do something good."

Ms Barber and her mother are already making plans to be back next year, with aims to turning the visit into an annual event.

"We definitely want to bring it back next year, 100 percent, it's something we're hoping to make a yearly event, something where we can keep running events in Sydney and coming up to Nyngan to do."

The store will be open at the RSL Bowler Club betwen 2 and 5pm.
