Strathpine Op Shop: Supporting Nourish Street
At our Strathpine location, we support Nourish Street, an initiative started by Bray Park resident Beau Haywood. Beau and his family deliver hundreds of home-cooked meals and essentials to homeless people across the Moreton Bay region every week. The Strathpine Op Shop collects donations of camping equipment, tinned food, perishable food, and blankets to support Beau's mission.
Beau’s personal experience with homelessness and addiction gives him a unique connection with the people he helps. His dedication to forming connections and building trust has seen his efforts grow from helping 80 people to over 117. Donations can be left at the Strathpine YMCA Op Shop at 130 Gympie Rd.
