Your preloved items can have a second life!
Unused treasures at home? This season, let them brighten someone else’s life! Our Op Shops welcome donations of quality clothing, decor, books, and at some locations, even furniture or appliances.
Donations during business hours are appreciated. Before donating, please check with your nearest store to confirm the types of items they accept for resale. For smaller items like lone socks, fabric scraps, and sewing materials, you can arrange a pickup with our recycling partner, UPPAREL to help us minimise textile waste.
Check with your nearest store to confirm what they accept, and let your generosity bring joy to children everywhere.
Good luck treasure hunting!
