Good Sammy Op Shop Excursion

Spend the morning helping out at the Good Sammy's warehouse sorting through donated items before they are distributed to Opshops all around Perth.

Good Sammy Op shops collect and sell goods generously donated by the community, and all profits are reinvested to create employment opportunities for West Australian people living with disability.

Within our retail stores we provide a number of those opportunities. Volunteers and support staff work alongside people living with disabilities guiding and supporting their daily working tasks and shaping their pathway to independence. Our customers help our employees by donating, interacting and buying.
