25.01.2022 Be part of National Child Protection Week. Putting children first means prioritising the safety and wellbeing of children. To grow up well children need to fe...el safe and loved, have a chance to play and explore, have a say in decisions that affect them, and access to essential things like food, shelter and healthcare. For children to thrive we need to come together as a community and put children’s needs first during National Child Protection Week and every week. #Playyourpart in the prevention of child abuse and neglect https://www.napcan.org.au/ncpw-theme/

23.01.2022 Food for families: Right now, it’s difficult for us to know what we will be able to do by Christmas. We know the need is there in fact data from our services ...shows that demand for food relief is growing. Food For Families is a way for you to provide practical support this Christmas and throughout the year to come. By donating or supplying food and other essential items, you can ensure people in crisis can access the basics they need to get through a difficult time. Most of our emergency relief services are operating and still accepting donations of non-perishable food and household essential items. So if you have items you wish to donate and can visit one of our drop off points while respecting your local restrictions, please call them directly to confirm any site specific requirements. This will ensure someone will be available to accept your donation at the time you plan to drop past. Thanks to you. https://foodforfamilies.org.au/

21.01.2022 A big thank you to everyone who answered our recent call to make reusable, fabric face masks for Uniting Vic.Tas and Uniting AgeWell services. So far we've had... 116 registrations, 3200 masks pledged and 2150 masks received and distributed - an incredible response. If you are handy with a sewing machine or needle and thread, there's still time to sign up to make masks. To register, visit bit.ly/32KP3un

12.01.2022 Uniting Op Shops support our emergency relief services who in turn provide food, personal care items, material aid, financial support and links to other service...s to help people who are struggling to make ends meet. By donating a small amount, you can pay it forward to people who need your support right now. Small sacrifice. Big difference https://www.unitingvictas.org.au//small/covid-19-donation/

12.01.2022 All Uniting Ballarat Op Shops will stay closed during Stage 3 restrictions. If you or a family member are experiencing difficulties during this time, our Emergency Relief and other support services are still operating. You can contact them on 03 5332 1286.

10.01.2022 I know lots of Victorians have used this time to get to those odd jobs around the house. And there's something very satisfying about doing a big drop at the op-...shop and being able to admire your newly cleaned and sorted wardrobe. But despite some op-shops reopening, many are still closed or not accepting new donations right now. That means when you try to donate goods, they're actually ending up in landfill creating more rubbish and forcing charities to foot the bill. Op-shops should never be dumping grounds for broken or dirty things, and donations should never be left outside business hours. It's unhygienic, it's time consuming and it's dangerous for the people who work and volunteer there. So before you head out, call ahead or check online to make sure the shop you're visiting can accept your items. And remember it's only a donation if it makes it to the shelf.

10.01.2022 Our Wendouree Op Shop is currently closed for repairs. But you can still pick up a bargain nearby at our Delacombe shop, 899 LaTrobe Street, which will be open from 10am to 4pm Monday to Saturday. Donations will be received at Delacombe between 10am and 12pm each day.... Thank you for your support.

04.01.2022 Our Norlane Op Shop a welcoming place for people to shop and socialise largely thanks to the dedication and passion of volunteer, Peter Wheeler.
