Op Shops Volunteers Needed
Op Shop - Hibiscus Coast Presbyterian Church
Volunteers Urgently Needed
Volunteering at our Op Shop is more than just a good use of free time - it's fun.
Shop manager Val Dymock is on the lookout for new volunteers and says anyone with a few hours to spare might want to consider spending it volunteering at the shop.
"It's a place to come and have a laugh and make new friends," she says. "People are feeling isolated and don't necessarily want to come out, but our Op Shop are doing what we can to provide this place for people to still come to make friends and have a laugh."
The shop is invested in our local community and supports various community initiatives, schools, hospital Chaplains and needy families.
"Without volunteers, we can't open and can't make money to provide these services," says Val who runs the Op Shop.
The shop also provides a service for locals who might not be able to buy things new.
"We can kit you out, your house out, your kitchen out. There's everything here and the price range is starting at a dollar," says Val.
"And we cater for all demographics - antique dealers, people who want to buy stuff and put it on Trade Me to people who want to buy clothes from an op shop because they don't want to buy new for sustainability reasons. But without staff we can't provide all those things."
If you are interested, please call Val on: 021 133 6545 or call in at the Op Shop
We can show people round if they feel daunted at the prospect of something new - come in and have a look around the shop, meet a few people and we can go from there.
