helping hands mission op shop, airport west

This op shop is truly impressive! You could easily spend a few hours here hunting for bargains. The dedicated volunteers at Helping Hands are just lovely, and they keep the store beautifully organised making it a wonderful place to shop.


Mamma says there's so much to love here, so let's highlight a few things:

  • Gold coin donation for coffee and cake, plus amazing hearty and healthy $5 lunches.

  • A Toy Barn filled with kids' toys, games, and puzzles.

  • A book room with $1 books, DVDs, and records.

  • Boutique clothing.

  • Gaye’s Vintage Shop, named in memory of their beloved store manager, Gaye Roberts.

  • Craft supplies.

  • Furniture, electrical items, and manchester.

  • Endless $2 clothing racks as far as the eye can see!

  • A community pantry for families in need.

The sheer size of the operation here is amazing - with collection points for furniture and donated goods here also (open 10am - 3pm)

They also have other sites in Sunshine, Roxburgh Park and Preston.
