Lifeline North Coast’s lead-up to World Op Shop Day

Volunteers and staff at Lifeline North Coast on Vernon Street, Coffs Harbour.

LIFELINE North Coast has made this week about fun, bargains, and community spirit – leading up to World Op Shop Day on Saturday, 18 October.

The charity’s op shops have been featuring special deals all week.

“Our amazing op shops are rolling out daily specials and unique deals at each location,” Lifeline North Coast General Manager Angela Martin said.

“They’ve been sharing incredible bargains, one-of-a-kind treasures, and a shopping experience that’s about more than just great finds.”

Every purchase at Lifeline North Coast op shops helps fund crisis support lines, reduces environmental waste, and supports essential community programs.

It is also an opportunity to donate your pre-loved items such as homewares, toys, books and clothing, or even sign up as a volunteer.

Lifeline’s resident DJ has been visiting stores throughout the week.

Shoppers have been requesting their favourite tunes and watching as the DJ creates a remix on the spot.

“World Op Shop Day is about more than second-hand bargains; it’s about community impact,” Ms Martin said.

“From reducing waste and creating supportive spaces for volunteers to helping those doing it tough, these shops make a difference every day.”

Events finish on Saturday at the Toormina and Nambucca stores and on Friday at all other stores.
