The program 

Red Cross Shops sell new and donated clothing, accessories and homewares to raise funds to help people in need. Each year, Red Cross rescues more than 450 tonnes of clothing from landfill, provides opportunities for over 5,000 volunteers and generates vital funds to support vulnerable people across Australia and around the world. The Retail Distribution Centre in Derrimut plays an important role in making this possible. Our team supports stores by preparing and distributing essential supplies and stock, helping them operate smoothly and continue raising funds. With the capacity to process over 650,000 kilograms of donated goods each year, the Distribution Centre contributes to both sustainability and humanitarian impact — ensuring items are reused or responsibly recycled wherever possible.
