Thank you for shopping with purpose
Because of you something amazing just happened.
The item you chose today may feel small — but its impact reaches far beyond the shop floor. Every purchase in our op shops helps fund our Community Pantries, our Material Aid program, and the welcoming spaces that bring people together through volunteering. Together, this support provides food to 150 individuals and families every single day, essential household goods, connection, and dignity to people in our community.
From your purchase to their table
With the average household in Melbourne made up of 2.6 people, your pruchase helps put food on the table for approximately
390 people a day
1,950 people each week and
more than 100,000 people every year
That’s parents feeding their children.
That’s relief at the end of a hard week.
That’s dignity, care, and hope — made possible by you.
A safe, comfortable place to start again
Your shopping also helps fund our Material Aid program, providing essential household goods to families and individuals who need them most.
From kitchen items and bedding to everyday essentials, these simple things help turn a house into a home — offering comfort, stability, and a fresh start when it’s needed most.
Creating connection, not just change
Our op shops are also places of belonging. They provide opportunities for people to volunteer their time — and for many, volunteering is a vital source of social connection, routine, and purpose.
Through your support, over 300 volunteers are able to show up, feel included, build confidence, and be part of something meaningful.
Good for people. Good for the planet.
By choosing second-hand, you’re caring for the environment too — reducing waste and giving pre-loved clothing a second chance to be loved again.
