Pakenham Opportunity Shop run by volunteers held an annual meeting and distributed funds to support a number of non-profit organisations.
Despite having increases in rent, insurance, removal and many more personal challenges, they were able to donate $120,000 to CFA brigades, charities and other worthy recipents throughout the Cardinia Shire.
Although the team of volunteers work many hours and not paid, they are committed to making a difference in their community. They depend on donated goods to sell and are grateful for locals who present their donations ready for sale in the Opp Shop and they appreciate their loyal customers.
