Salvos Stores are encouraging members of the public to dig deep into wardrobes and linen closets for warm items to donate, to ensure stores are kept well stocked with winter woollies during the colder months.

This July, anyone who donates warm winter clothes to Salvos Stores will receive a 20 per cent discount voucher which can be used in-store or online.

This comes as a result of Salvos Stores experiencing a decrease in winter stock donations this year.

Salvos Stores CEO Matt Davis said maintaining strong winter stock plays a vital role in supporting the frontline work of The Salvation Army, with sales from Salvos Stores going directly to funding The Salvos programs around Australia.

“At Salvos Stores, we want to ensure that we have the right stock for our customers looking to shop pre-loved for their winter wear. This is why we are calling on the public to take a look in their wardrobe and see if they can spare a few winter items this chilly season,” Mr Davis said.

“And while you are at it, you will get a great discount in store or online from our great range of products, so you can feel good whilst getting yourself a bargain.”

Each year, Salvos Stores raises over $39 million for The Salvation Army’s frontline work right across the country, which in turn helps over one million Aussies in need.

Salvos Stores also diverts around 40 million items from landfill each year through the sale of goods in their store network.

With more than 350 stores nationwide and an online store, Salvos Stores are providing affordable, environmentally friendly products to communities right around Australia.

“We are looking for those essential winter items, such as jumpers, jackets, beanies, and other warm clothes. So please, head into your local Salvos Store and donate your winter goods to make a difference in other people’s lives,” said Matt Davis.
