For more than 20 years, our Op Shops have been at the heart of Cancer Wellness Support, helping us make affordable, person-centred cancer care available across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains.
Now, our Op Shop family is growing! We’re so excited to welcome our newest addition, the St Marys Op Shop, joining our much-loved Katoomba and Penrith stores.
Three Op Shops, Three Unique Personalities
Our story began 21 years ago in Katoomba, a true treasure trove for anyone who loves vintage finds, retro treasures and unique pieces with a story to tell.
Thirteen years ago, our Penrith Op Shop joined the family, bringing its own welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere and carefully curated finds. It has become a much-loved space where bargain hunters, fashion lovers and our local community come together.
Now, it’s St Marys’ turn!
Celebrating Our St Marys Launch
In August, we celebrated the opening of our St Marys Op Shop alongside the many people who helped bring this exciting new chapter to life.
We were delighted to welcome the Hon. Prue Car MP, Deputy Premier of NSW, Penrith Mayor Todd Carney, St Marys Town Centre Manager Jo Tomic, members of our Board, and the many friends, supporters and community partners who joined us to celebrate this milestone.
At St Marys, we’ve taken everything our community loves about our Op Shops and introduced something a little different.
Alongside affordable fashion, pre-loved homewares and those unexpected finds that make Op Shopping so enjoyable, you’ll discover Wellness Living, a thoughtfully curated collection of products inspired by our philosophy of wellbeing and self-care.
St Marys is also home to The Studio, a dedicated space where our community can come together through creative workshops, wellbeing experiences and opportunities to learn, share and connect.
Together, they bring a new dimension to the traditional Op Shop experience, creating a welcoming space where shopping, wellbeing and community come together.
Every Purchase Makes a Difference
While each of our Op Shops has its own personality, they all share the same purpose: helping people and families living with cancer access the care and support they need.
That means your next favourite outfit, a unique homeware find or a special pre-loved treasure can do so much more than you might think.
Every purchase helps Cancer Wellness Support continue providing affordable, subsidised complementary therapies and wellbeing programs for people and families living with cancer. Just $35 helps fund one subsidised therapy.
Community has always been at the heart of Cancer Wellness Support. A big thank you to everyone who has already visited, shared their encouragement and made us feel so welcome in St Marys. We’re looking forward to the many connections, conversations and experiences still to come.
If you haven’t visited yet, pop in, have a look around and say hello. We’d love to see you.
