Our friends over at Daylesford Community Op Shop have had a rough start to the year, with a seemingly normal donation infested with bed bugs. They are already thousands of dollar out of pocket for pest control, and have had to destroy thousands more in stock.
The future of the op shop is still unclear as costs keep adding up. Cash donations are very much appreciated and can be made to the op shop to help them reopen their doors, details for donations in the comments.
The future of a Victorian op shop is in doubt after a worker opened a bag containing the stuff of nightmares, leading to the destruction of stock and hefty cleaning bills that may prove to be a deadly financial blow.
