Shop Donations
When you donate to and buy at Lifeline Shops, you are helping save lives.
Donations to our Lifeline Shops
We are always accepting clean, good-quality items. As a general rule, if you’d give it to a friend, you can donate it!
Funds from the sale of your donation in a Lifeline Shop go directly to Lifeline programs that help people in need, including our 24-hour 13 11 14 Crisis Support Line. As a bonus, donating to Lifeline can help to save the planet by giving a second life to your pre-loved items and keeping them out of landfill.
Where to donate
- Drop items off in person: Find your nearest Lifeline op shop and bring your items by during trading hours. Please do not leave items outside the shop. They may be damaged or stolen.
- Drop off at a donation bin: Clothes donations and small goods can be dropped at one of our donation bins (locations below). Please remember that your donation must fit in the bin. If you come across a full bin, please do not leave donations outside of the bin.
What to donate
- Clothes: We accept good quality, wearable clothing, shoes and accessories with no rips, stains or tears. Bagged up in lots (ie women’s, men’s and children’s items) is great!
- Books: All books in good condition are accepted.
- Bric-a-brac: Wine racks, candelabras, crockery or any other curios and ornaments are welcome as donations.
