The Community Op-Shop thank the Tocumwal community for their ongoing support.
Profits from sales are well used, with donations like these being made on a regular basis to local groups and all funds raised go back into our community.
The shop is always looking to fill shifts with new volunteers.
The group has recently had to close early, or not open at all, some days due to lack of volunteers.
If you have free time that you may be able to donate to this organisation, please drop in and pick up an application form to complete and return.
The shop is located at 50 Murray St, Tocumwal and is open Monday to Saturday from 9am onwards.

Captain Ian Desailly from Tocumwal Fire & Rescue would like to thank the community and business houses of Tocumwal, as well as the visitors to the town, who made their annual Good Friday Appeal such a success.
He also extends a big thank you to the Tocumwal RFS for their help in collecting around the community, which was much appreciated.
The amount that was raised totalled an incredible $11,385.
Once again, thank you to everyone for your ongoing support for the Royal Children's Hospital Appeal.

Ian would also like to remind everyone that it is time to change your smoke detector batteries.
With winter upon us, you should also clean the filter in your clothes dryer regularly.
And of course, don't overload power boards.
