Community-Driven Support for People Doing It Tough in the Clarence Valley, Northern Rivers, SEQ and Beyond
Upcycled treasures, disaster response, and a local op shop experience worth the trip.
Who We Are
The Mend & Make Do Crew Inc. is one of Australia’s most organised, warm-hearted community op shops - proudly operating in South Grafton since 2015.
We also support homeless and at-risk community members across Northern New South Wales and South East Queensland, by working hand-in-hand with frontline client agencies to deliver free Caring Kits and essential items when they’re needed most.
We’re 100% volunteer-powered - and we believe everyone deserves the basics of life, with dignity and respect.
