If you’re on the hunt for a new addition to your wardrobe, look no further than the North Mackay Kidney Support Network (KSN) Inc Community Op Shop on Evans Avenue.
This week, from 8-15th of November, they’re offering readers a special offer of 50% off all clothing!
Here’s the best part… every dollar spent at KSN’s Op Shop directly supports individuals living with kidney disease in the community, with proceeds going towards essential services, particularly door-to-door transport for patients attending dialysis or medical appointments.
Operations Manager Paula O'Neill emphasises the importance of this initiative.
“All of the revenue from the op shop goes towards supporting kidney patients in the Mackay region, particularly providing transport to and from the hospital,” she said.
The Kidney Support Network not only aids individuals with kidney disease but also extends support to their families and carers. All KSN shops are staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers, ensuring that every dollar spent is reinvested into vital services for those affected by kidney disease.
Their transport service is crucial for patients requiring dialysis treatment up to three times a week, however, this initiative is not government funded and relies solely on donations, volunteering and community support. This means that your purchases play a critical role in sustaining these indispensable services.
“We’re definitely always looking for volunteers to work in our Op Shops to help support our service,” says Paula.
If you’re interested in making a difference and have some spare time, consider stopping by the Evans Avenue Op Shop to discuss volunteering opportunities with the team. From sorting donations to assisting customers, every bit of help contributes significantly to supporting patients and advancing KSN’s mission.
By shopping at the KSN Community Op Shop, you’re not just grabbing a bargain, you’re also funding life-saving services for those navigating the challenges of kidney disease.
Their Op Shop offers a diverse selection of items and sizes, from trendy tops and versatile trousers to cozy winter wear. With new items arriving frequently, there’s always something fresh and exciting on the racks, making it the perfect opportunity to update your wardrobe while supporting a worthy cause.
In addition to the Evans Avenue location, KSN operates four Op Shops throughout the region, including sites in the Mackay city centre, Sarina and Mirani.
As you shop, Paula also encourages everyone to consider their eligibility to become a donor, noting that it could be the “gift of life to someone.”
