Good Sammy, a beacon of social enterprise in Western Australia, has been dedicated to the noble cause of creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities since its inception in 1958. Our unwavering vision is to craft a brighter future for people with disabilities, underpinned by the belief that inclusive workplaces are the cornerstone of a more inclusive society.
At Good Sammy’s South Lake Op Shop & Containers For Change, we have established a retail haven that combines purpose with affordability. Situated just outside the Lakes Shopping Centre, our thrift store is renowned for its high-quality merchandise and wallet-friendly prices. It’s not just a shopping destination; it’s an experience that helps bridge the gap between different sections of the community.
Adjacent to our thrift store, you’ll find an excellent laundromat and clothing alterations business, where you can multitask – get your clothes altered or cleaned while you shop for your next outfit. Moreover, in the same complex, there’s a Salvos store, providing you with even more thrift shopping opportunities. This setup makes it an ideal hub for fashion-conscious individuals who value both sustainability and savings.
The heart of our mission beats in our dedicated team of employees and volunteers at South Lake. They actively engage with the community by donating goods to the Lakes Centre for various events, including Easter, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and the Melbourne Cup. This not only brings joy to those in need but also creates a sense of unity within the community. We’re not just a store; we’re a cornerstone of community goodwill.
But that’s not all. We also proudly serve as a drop-off point for Containers For Change bags. When you choose to recycle your beverage containers with us, you’re contributing to a greener future. We handle the counting and refund process, so you can feel good about being eco-friendly without the hassle.
Accessibility is also a priority for us. We’re conveniently located just 3 kilometers away from Cockburn Station, and multiple bus routes pass through our vicinity. We extend a warm welcome to students from South Lake Primary School, Yangebup Primary School, and Lakelands High School. Drop by our store to discover great deals and engage in conversations about sustainable fashion. We believe that starting these discussions early can help cultivate a community that values sustainability and inclusivity.
When you shop, donate, or volunteer with Good Sammy, you are directly contributing to our mission of creating meaningful employment opportunities and pathways for individuals with disabilities in Western Australia. Every purchase, every item donated, and every hour volunteered empowers people with disabilities with essential skills and the confidence to pursue a brighter future. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable journey towards a more inclusive society.
