Goods @ Gertrude

Uniting Country SA is a compassionate non-profit social services and community organization that has been serving regional communities across South Australia for over a century. With a robust mission of caring for country people, they have established themselves as local experts dedicated to making a real difference in the community. Their services are diverse, ranging from helping community members find affordable and unique items at their Goods@Gertrude op shop to providing essential support through various social service programs and housing solutions for low-income families and individuals. Goods@Gertrude, their op shop located in Port Pirie, is a cornerstone project that has been active since 1970, offering high-quality second-hand items like clothing, furniture, and toys. The shop primarily stocks items through generous community donations and is run by passionate volunteers who contribute significantly to the function and outreach of the program. Volunteering opportunities are abundant, helping those who want to make a positive impact in their community. The organization values the participation and voice of children and young people in their activities, evident in projects such as the graffiti wall project and their Charter of Rights for Children and Young People in Care. Also, embedded in their ethos are quality accreditations and a commitment to child-aware approaches, ensuring their services are trusted and child-focused. Providing a supportive structure, Uniting Country SA enables communities and individuals to thrive while also offering pathways to contribute through donations and volunteer work.
