Community Op Shop Donates To 14 Local Charities

Boorowa Community Op Shop generously donated $55,000 to 14 local charities at the end of August.

The Op Shop is coordinated by the Boorowa Rotary Club and staffed entirely by volunteers.

Each volunteer can nominate a local charity or community group they wish to support and the total hours they put in over the year becomes the proportion of net proceeds donated to their chosen charity or group.

Op Shop Committee Coordinator and 2025-2026 Boorowa Rotary President, Ilze Myburgh thanked the Shop’s volunteers for their work and the community for their support throughout the year.

“To our wonderful volunteers, the many hours you give, the effort you put in, and the kindness you show are the heartbeat of the Op Shop. Without your dedication, none of this would be possible. And of course, along the way, there have been plenty of funny and sometimes bizarre moments that make volunteering such a unique and rewarding experience.”

“I also want to thank our community for your ongoing generosity. Every donation you give - big or small - helps us stock the shop and, more importantly, helps us make a difference to all our customers.”

“It’s this shared spirit of giving, of both time and resources, that makes the Op Shop such a success. Together, volunteers and community, you make a real and lasting difference. We are deeply grateful. Thank you,” said Mrs Myburgh.
