Donate to op shops

All our op shops across Melbourne accept quality clothes donations during opening hours (usually from 10am to 5pm, seven days per week). Please call your local store if you have any questions.

Please don’t leave your donations out the front or back of our shops outside opening hours – we want to be able to welcome and thank you for your donation.

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.

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.

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.

Our 14 op shops also act as major recycling hubs for communities and save items from landfill.

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 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.
