Why Choose to volunteer with Australian Red Cross?

• You’ll be helping Red Cross to support vulnerable people across Australia
• It’s an opportunity to gain new experiences
• You can help improve lives and create a positive impact in your community

The program 

Red Cross Shops sell new and donated clothes, accessories, and homewares to raise funds to help people in need. Each year, we rescue 450 tonnes of clothing from landfill, give opportunities to 5000 volunteers, and generate funds to help Red Cross support vulnerable people in Australia and around the world. The proceeds from the sale of items support the vital everyday work of Red Cross, providing relief in times of crisis and care where it's needed most.

The opportunity 

Our brand-new Distribution Centre located in Derrimut is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist with sorting donations. With this volunteer day you'll get the opportunity to:

• Assist with sorting, grading, de-tagging/tagging and packing both new and preloved donated goods according to set standards & store requirements.
• Help assess the quality and suitability of donated merchandise, and address any quality issues.
• Make friends and contribute your skills to help us raise money for those in need.
• No experience is necessary, and all training is provided.

The impact 

Through volunteering with Red Cross your contribution will help us procure quality donations which help to raise funds which bring care and comfort where it’s needed most. 

By volunteering you will also receive access to other opportunities to contribute within the world’s largest humanitarian network.
