Pied Piper Op Shop

The Pied Piper Op Shop has now been ‘ours’ for a whole month!  A very busy month it has been too.

This time has allowed us to make some small changes and also identify how you may be able to help.

Firstly, we need volunteers in the shop on a Saturday morning from 10am – 1pm.  Tasks include serving customers, taking donations, pricing and sorting items.  This of course could be say once a month, depending on how many people can help.

Secondly, some of the clothing items donated are only good enough for rags.  This means that buttons need to be removed before cutting the fabric up.  We have secured a buyer for the rags which provides a steady and useful top up to the income.  Are you able to help with this job?

Thirdly, we would like to introduce a baking roster so that we can provide the volunteers with morning and afternoon teas each day.  They give their time willingly and are essential to the day to day running of the shop.  Again, frequency of this is dependent on your support.

Finally, if you have any items surplus to your requirements, we would be most grateful to accept them to offer for sale at The Pied Piper Op Shop.

Please do have a think about whether you can help with this exciting venture on behalf of your Pipe Bands.  If you can, please contact one of the Trustees – Julie, Sally, Jarrod or Aaron.
