Hamilton’s Op Shop for Breast Cancer has recently hit their first $1 million in sales, and it’s thanks to a volunteer run workshop that would give Santa’s elves a run for their money.
The store is manager Sharyn Cawood’s fifth op shop after creating four stores in the past for Hospice Waikato. The Op Shop for Breast Cancer has been running since Covid.
Clinical researcher Jenni Scarlet, (“who we’re doing all of this for,” says Cawood), called Cawood during Covid, and said a new charity store would be helpful for funding clinical trials.
