Why Support our Op Shop?

When you walk into your local Op Shop what do you see? Probably just a range of second-hand goods at a bargain price. 

You may be aware that you are supporting a charity or a local community organisation but what you don’t see or consider is the great social impact and community building roles your local op shop plays in your community.

Many Op Shops are not just a social enterprise supporting community through the sale of goods, did you know they:

• Provide a place for our retirees to come together to “give back” to their communities
• Support mums returning to work get their mojo (confidence) back
• Is a place for long-term unemployed to gain training, new skills, and confidence when embarking upon returning to the workforce
• Encourage young people and uni students to gain valuable work experience
• Work with local disability services to provide local volunteering opportunities for their clients
• Upskill their volunteers through training
• Give social support to people with mental health issues
• Reduces landfill and promotes recycling

Donations

Donations can be made by dropping off to our volunteers during opening hours, or by arrangement after hours. While we are always grateful for donations, donations of items we are unable to sell puts pressure on our volunteer team and costs us money for disposal. Please think about the items you are donating – if you wouldn’t give it to a family member, it’s probably not suitable for donation.
