All ways to donate

Sacred Heart Mission is an innovative not-for-profit organisation providing individualised support and services to people who are experiencing homelessness and disadvantage. We have developed a reputation as a respected and well-known social services provider that understands homelessness and uses creative, evidence-based solutions to address it.

It is only through the generosity of people like you that we can continue to provide vital services in your community. To find out more about how the individual services we offer are making a difference, and what impact you can make, please visit our ‘impact’ page.

By donating your clothes and other quality items, you are helping us raise funds for Sacred Heart Mission’s various programs and services, including the Women’s House and our Dining Hall. Every $10 you spend in our op shops, provides one meal to a member of our community.

We accept good quality donations of clothes, books, homewares, furniture and more. If it’s something you’d purchase from an op shop, it’s suitable to donate. If you’re unsure, learn here what items we can and cannot accept in our stores.

We have a free collection service travelling to your home or business in the inner Melbourne area to collect larger donations such as furniture, white goods and large quantities of clothes, books and household items. Learn more about our collection service and book a collection time.

We believe the people who access our services should be able to choose what clothes they would like to wear, to reflect their personality and style. We often have people visit our op shops together with their Support Worker to select outfits that suit them.

No, we don’t have op shop bins. Our friendly op shop staff accepts your quality clothes donations at our op shops across Melbourne during business hours.

Please don’t leave your donations out the front or back of our shops outside opening hours – dumping is not donating.
