FAQs – Take what you need, donate what you can
The WinterFest Pop-up Op-Shop is an initiative run by the UMSU Women’s Department to provide clothing to students in an accessible and sustainable way.
How does it work?
The WinterFest Pop-up Op-Shop operates on a philosophy of 'take what you need, donate what you can'. All students are welcome to visit the Pop-up Op-Shop and take any items they need. Where you're able, we encourage you to donate any unwanted items in your wardrobe to ensure the Pop-up Op-Shop is kept well-stocked for other students in need.
Where can I donate my clothes?
Donations can be taken to the UMSU Women’s Office and dropped off in the box labelled "Pop-up Op-Shop Donations".
The Women’s Department Office is Room 321 of Building 168. Find us at the end of the corridor on Level 3, on your right!
Opening hours: As per Building 168 opening hours.
You can also donate your items directly on the day.
How do I donate?
The Pop-up Op-Shop donation bin is located in front of the Women’s Department Office on Level 3 of Building 168 and can accept donations any time during building opening hours before the event on Wed 19 July.
