Mrs Guthridge is selling the last clothes and accessories from Melandari Fashions at Edenhope, which she ran for 25 years, from her Horsham home until the end of May.
All proceeds will be donated to Samaritan's Purse, a Christian humanitarian organisation which Mrs Guthridge has supported before, donated money from sales to build a room at a school in Cambodia.
She also works with Samaritan's Purse Wimmera outreach worker Ann Rohde on Operation Christmas Child, a program to present children with a shoebox of items at Christmas.
Mrs Guthridge said people interested in buying the clothes, all at reduced prices, could call at her home, 7 Evans Way, between 10am and 6pm daily until May 30.
