As a church Welfare program, profits from sales go to assist others in need, whether it be locally, here in Victoria, Australia or overseas.

We have a friendly team of volunteers working in the Op Shop and we love people popping in for a chat, and you're welcome to stay awhile- browsing, or buying.

Thankyou for the generosity of donors for their donations- making it possible for our sales and also for the opportunity to recycle, repurpose and to save items from potentially ending in landfill.
