Donate your pre-loved goods and save items from landfill
Our op shops support Sacred Heart Mission by selling your pre-loved donations and recycling second-hand goods.
Your generous donations help us to support people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage and we thank you for choosing to support Sacred Heart Mission.
How to donate goods
Simply drop off your pre-loved donations to one of our many op shops during business hours. That way, we can personally thank you for your generous donation and you can see exactly where your donations go.

Each Sacred Heart Mission op shop has its own personality and works with the local community to recycle pre-loved goods and promote sustainability. Check out the unique style of your local op shop.
Unlike other charities, we accept donations by hand, so we get to personally thank you.
As part of our commitment to minimise our impact on the environment, we also recycle 100 per cent of our textile donations. This makes us a major partner in the local recycling industry.
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 $4 you spend in our op shops, provides one meal to a member of our community.
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.
