ADRA Op Shops rely on donated goods and are staffed by volunteers. They are funded by their own operations. Op-shops are an important community service that benefit a wide range of individuals: They supply affordable clothing and other goods to those in need, provide the pleasure of giving to those donating goods, give volunteers a sense of purpose and acknowledgment in making a difference, and link a community of people. Funds raised from ADRA Op Shops are used to fund a range of local ADRA community projects such as women refuges, at-risk youth intervention, drug and alcohol counselling as well as literacy and job skill training.

They already have a wide range of clothes, bric-a-brac and furniture in store and will also accept donations of saleable items from the community. If you want to find out more phone Helen Turnham on 0468 640 071 or call in next week to check out what is available.
