Salvos Support National Op Shop Week

Salvos Stores today announced that it will again be partnering with NACRO (National Association of Charitable Recycling Organisations) in celebrating the third annual National Op Shop Week to be held from the 24th to the 31st of August.

General Manager of Salvos Stores Australian Eastern Territory Neville Barrett said today, "Over the last ten years we have seen a 75% increase in sales for Salvos Stores. With the rising cost of living now impacting on a large section of the community, people from a diverse range of socio economic backgrounds now shop at Salvos Stores".

All proceeds from Salvos Stores go towards running vital Salvation Army programs which assist the less fortunate. By shopping at and donating to Salvos Stores the community is also helping the environment by reducing landfill.

National Op Shop Week is a joint initiative of DoSomething! and the National Association of Charitable Recycling Organisations (NACRO). The week seeks to raise awareness of the importance of supporting op shops in our community.
