There’s nothing quite like the thrill of the (thrift shopping) hunt. Rummaging through racks of pre-loved pieces searching for the perfect item just for you. All the items in thrift stores hold their own, unique history and sit idly by, waiting for someone to come along and continue their story.
But the benefits of thrift shopping go beyond breathing new life into old clothes. Buying second-hand helps to protect the environment by preventing preloved pieces from ending up in landfill, but it’s the monetary donations to charity that make a true difference to every day lives.
The RSPCA are one of Australia’s most trusted and well-known charities and since the introduction of its op shops around the country, it has never been easier to donate much-needed funds and get yourself something nice while you’re at it!
There are currently 11 RSPCA op shops scattered around South Australia with one more about to be added to the list! This Saturday July 16, Aberfoyle Park will become home to the newest RSPCA op shop.
With affordable, unique and sustainable items, you can feel good about shopping knowing that every dollar spent at any of the RSPCA thrift stores goes straight towards helping one of the 8,000 animals that the charity helps each year.
The RSPCA was established in South Australia in 1875 and is the oldest and largest animal welfare charity in the state. Offering shelter, education, medical attention and love, the RSPCA are dedicated to supporting the welfare of animals of all shapes and sizes and every dollar donated directly supports the hard work they do.
So, why not get yourself some new winter threads and support a great cause all at the same time!
RSPCA Aberfoyle Park is located at Shops 25 & 26, 130-150 Hub Drive, Aberfoyle Park.
