The Sacred Heart Mission in St Kilda will be celebrating their 30th anniversary with various public events happening on Sunday 24 February.

First up, a pop-up op shop will take place at Catani Gardens, St Kilda. People can both shop and donate on the day, plus there will be an eight-piece jazz band and sausage sizzle.


This event can be seen on Facebook .

There will also be an Open Day from 2-5pm at Sacred Heart Mission in Grey St, St Kilda. As part of the celebrations, the flagship op shop on Grey Street will feature performances outside the front of the store from bands Beloved Elk, Pioneers Of Good Science and Colourwheel. The store will be open for business with great prices on clothing, furniture and homewares.

Visitors also have the opportunity to tour the old buildings including the dining hall, which will be people's last chance to see it before they have a huge $1.2 million renovation.

[ADVERT]Help prepare for next day's lunch by peeling potatoes, enter a pool comp where you can match your skills against aged care residents with prizes up for grabs or check out memory tests, Devonshire tea in the dining hall, a massage at the clinic, a screening of the historical documentary about Sacred Heart Mission Bread and Blessings, and of course a sausage sizzle.

And, if that's not enough, there will be an inaugural Amazing Race style fundraising event around St Kilda where teams of four people have to race between pit stops, complete fun challenges, and crack clues to work where the next destination is, all the while trying to stave off their rivals. The Sacred Heart have been planning the challenges and clues and while they are top secret, I am told it is is going to be fun.

It's a family-friendly affair so get the kids involved. Prizes are available for the best fancy dress, fastest team, and most money raised (contestants get people to sponsor them and the money raised goes to Sacred Heart Mission's work with people experiencing homelessness). Teams can register or get more info here .


Lastly, back to op shops, the Hawthorn op shop is currently holding an Easter raffle, with the first prize winner taking home a $500 gift voucher that they can spend at any of the seven Sacred Heart op shops. Tickets are $3 each, or 4 for $10, and can be purchased at the Hawthorn store. (86 Riversdale Rd, Hawthorn VIC 3122)

Oh the things one could buy with a $500 op shop voucher.
