Good Sammy is a trusted WA charity and we welcome all donations, whether they are your time, goods or a financial contribution.
Donating goods
You can gift us donations directly through our op shops, or via our community collection points.
When gifting to our op shops, we ask that where possible, you bring your donations between 9am - 4pm (Monday to Saturday) and 12pm - 4pm (Sunday). Please keep in mind that there are rare occasions when some of our stores are temporarily unable to accept donations. You are welcome to phone your local store in advance to check if they are able to accept your gift.
We are so grateful for the generosity of the community. The revenue raised through the sale of donated goods funds the work we do to help Western Australians with disability.

Tips for donating:

- if you think your item would not be welcomed by a friend, please do not donate it to charity.
- please donate fragile items directly to the counter at our shops to reduce breakage.
- please donate furniture to our furniture shops (Willetton, Balcatta, Gosnells and Wanneroo) or contact our Call Centre for a free home collection, and
