I get the idea of not accepting dirty toys. I had a van full of books and clothes.. It was beginning to frustrate me by what was NOT accepted. I was helping a friend who had packed the boxes and bags.. but watching people go through things and rejecting them was rather personal.. "we accept novels".. but a whole bag of them, rejected.. I grabbed the bag, groaned, walked away.. The girl called out.. "unfair disclosure".. really..? I worked with you guys about the dirty toys, You said you accept novels but rejected a bag full..!!
I litterally went around the corner to Vinnies.. parked the van and had people help me unload and take boxes and boxes of donations inside.. Feeling great to give and help.
Your prices for "economically inferior goods" are unreasonable.. Ive bought before at inflated prices from you, still ended up with rips and tears.. I'll be happy with better prices that reflect rips and tears in secondhand goods at vinnies and smaller charities, (I can sew) did I mention a wider offering of donations to browse through..? Thankyou

They do a wonderful job helping people in need, especially now with our tough cost of living.
Supporting salvation Army with multiple donations has me question giving my preloved belongings to smaller charities instead as i see cost of items unrealistically high. Comparing prices i can buy from Kmart orTarget easily for similar prices . From Budgewoi PJ pants without top 15.oo....Dissappointing.
The food is average. I got food poisoning there a few times. When I was starving and I tried to get a second meal once was told by the Manager Paul "No, you already had a meal", but others were given multiple meals that day. It can be dangerous at times, a lot of drug addicted persons are allowed to eat there, who become verbally and physically abusive, assaulting people for no reason. People have been stabbed and killed there over the last 2 years. The DJC staff Darius Keeto and Georgina Wynn were on the face helpful but in reality did not help me secure a place in the 6 weeks that i engaged with them;I spent 1 week sleeping in my car with my cats. Be weary.
Incredibly friendly staff, with incredibly low prices even for an op shop, I got a cute coat for only $1! I would definitely recommend checking this one out when you're in Hamilton, there are so many good clothes that cost no more than spare change
Item missing parts. Sealed and marked as checked. Was not allowed to check in store. Told no refunds given.
I went for a craft lesson & they were really lovely & welcoming I would totally recommend going there as they were so very friendly
Great organisation. Lovely people.
I will forever and ever be grateful to this place, no one welcomed me and my family with an open heart and arms like Salvation army did. And still do, for me and for anyone in need. Thank you
I want to give a special shout out to my provider Lisa who has helped me get back into the workforce after being very out of touch post covid amongst other personal challenges.
This gorgeous lady is patient, hard working and has gone out of her way to help me multiple times purely out of her good heart not because it was a part of her Job.
True credit to your Team, I highly recommend you promote her or give her a raise because we need more people working in human resources with her nature and approach.
Thanks for everything Lisa, you're a gem and I'm very grateful xxx

A wonderful place where everyone is treated with respect and provided with whatever support is available.
The hot breakfast and lunch is served to everyone who enters the door with no questions asked.
I feel blessed to be associated with Parramatta mission.

I have been to the mission heaps and they have helped me so much over the years and still keep helping people everyday thank you so much paul and everyone for the wonderfull support.
If you are serious about finding a job, support or just information about services give them a go, they have always treated me with respect and understanding towards my mental health illness.
Friendly helpful staff great service
There are other shops at level 1/ 426 Church Street. Please update your address to correctly guide your customers to your shop instead of people keep walking into other shops at Level 1 to consult your correct location, and ask for parking resolution related to your business.
Beautiful hearts
Volunteering here has been one one of the best things i have done in my life. The amount of work that is put in daily by staff and volunteers is tremendous to say the least. Everyone is so dedicated to their job and ensure that all guests leave with something and are impacted in a positive way.
Parramatta mission not only helps guests but also provides a safe place for volunteers to truly appreciate the work thats being done. If you have never volunteered before i encourage you to pay a visit.
Thank you to Monday & Tuesdays crew:
Paul, Sylvia, Sunny, Caroline, Indira, Jenny, Chao, Mikhail, Kevin, Sandra, Jack, Dora

Nice little op shop with really friendly volunteers.
A good balance of items across the store including some new items such as greeting cards and art work.
At least one rack of men's clothes, loads of children's shoes and a bookshelf full of books. Some DVDs available as well.

Did volunteer work here with a co-worker for few days.
Cooked, cleaned and served food to the people who needed it.
At first I was hesitant but after my first day, the satisfaction of working for charity and not money was sincere.
Will definitely go back in future. This time will take the youngsters of my families. So they can learn too.
It’s a really good charity organisation. Helps people in many ways. GodBless 🫶🏻🙏🌸🦋

Amazing people and food. I suggest volunteering there. God bless these guys.
Amazing service! I used to work here over 10 years ago and rented through them for 12+ years. They are an amazing service and I'm sad to be parting ways with them.
Reasonable prices and lovely staff
Good when open. Currently not taking donations due to renovation and you are expected to go to the old Hunter St store and donate in the back lane.
Great range of clothing, bric & brac
PUBLIC WARNING!
Avoid seeing Associate Professor Roger Gurr at all cost, as you would be wasting your time, money, and effort with a QUACK doctor.
The matter was referred to the HCCC and Medical Council of NSW. The result of their investigations were that:
"..., the Commission and the Medical Council of New South Wales agree that there were concerns with the report Dr Gurr provided..."
Gurr himself acknowledged his own errors, and refunded the gap component of his fees. Unfortunately, the Medicare component was not repaid by him to the government, thus, pocketing taxpayers' money for a lack of proper service.

Clothes too expensive and need more variety of stock, too many cups, China and kitchenware.
Just now after dropping off my children while walking to Crestwood Primary School.
A Salvation Army 2-3 tonne truck 100 metres from the school on corner of Warrina ave and Peel rd. Parked on the opposite side of the road.
With cars and school bus heading directly in front of the Salvation Army Truck.
Watched them(2 male in hi vis vest) drive out into on coming traffic!
Safety Isn’t Their Priority😡

Is this where Andrew from Love on the Spectrum works? If so, please let him know that's he's an inspiration to a great many Americans. What a stellar young man that is such a great and compassionate person. He rolls that Lawn Ball like a seasoned pro and is greatly adept at providing excellent technique critique. Give this man a raise so that he can get out and enjoy more cocktails. Life is too short to not have a cocktail in hand. Thank you and pass on my message to Andrew.
Great shop with lots of variety and good prices. Only today I was there 10 min before closing time and the shop was already closed. Very disappointing as I really could have used an extra set of clothes for tomorrow.
Great ppl who care about the community and their clients
Lovely ladies whom went out of their absolute way to help me pick a costume for work barefoot bowls function ..
“Excellent services”

One of the lowest priced op shops in Newcastle! Lots of variety!
bruh bruh bruh
Great bargains to be found here
Very disappointed there is no clothing in this shop for men
Clever cloth shopping bags made of singlets & T-shirts for $3. Great alternative to plastic bags. #thelittercollective
So I've recently noticed that the wallsend store is quite expensive
The staff are always friendly, ready to answer questions about stocked items and give trustworthy second opinions on the fit of the clothes I try on. It's a big shop and they specialise in ladies' clothes & accessories, homewares, small electrical appliances and linen cupboard contents; and their window-dressing & displays are beautiful.😃
The 5pm closing time gives them an advantage over most of their rivals in my local area.
But I wish they still stocked clothes for men and kids too.😕

Awesome service. They care about community
Fantastic op-shop with great prices and friendly staff.
Always there to help
The absolute most rudest woman I have ever come across. Spoke to me like I was poo on her shoe. Stuck her finger in my face and told me to wait. However I did continue to browse as I feel the charity should not suffer due to one uptight old woman who simply cannot multitask.
Friendly staff. Small but quality selection of men's apparel.
Great place to keep fit
