Thanks to the wonderful dedication of East Melbourne resident and Op Shop Volunteer, Carol Anne Hedley, we are able to coordinate the drop off and pickup of donations at our store.

Carol Anne writes . . "A few suggestions include old artworks/ paintings , picture frames, no longer wanted, even simple sketches and magazines. Men’s belts are particularly needed as well as Men’s and Women’s clothes, we’d love any old fashioned clothing, old Tuxedos and Jewellery as young people love to look different, yoga mats, old sports equipment, camping & general nick nacks, Suitcases, backpacks, Handbags, sewing gear, Vases, old dolls or children’s toys and books etc… including kitchen items or gardening, bedding as in Sheets, towels, Doona covers, chairs, tables any furniture no longer in use! Anything Electrical that’s still working as we have loads of students trying to set up a home, often in a new Country.
🛑 Things we can’t take are food, pillows, prams, and anything safety or hygiene sensitive such as Children’s Car seats, helmets, beds, Mattresses, etc ."

Contact the Op shop directly on 0436 404 842 to coordinate pickup of larger donations and furniture items.

What do you think ? Should the East Melbourne General Store become more Hipster cool to emulate NY Deli’s and European Alimentari or just keep being authentic to the old-school Aussie Milk Bar ?
I’m a firm believer in “if is ain’t broke, don’t fix it”

From empanadas and mock meats to bulk soy sauce and beer on tap: what don’t these new-wave grocers sell?
