Vinnies Op shops are a well-established and much-loved part of the Kiwis retail landscape. Aside from being op-shop mecca for fans of all things quality and thrift, the shops often act as the first point of contact for people seeking emergency assistance such as food and clothing; thereby playing a central role to the operations of the Society. Last year our shop donated $25,000 to the flood relief in the Gisborne area as well as supporting our local food bank. The shops are a great place to work for anyone interested in community and particularly in Vinnies Good Works.
