Buying is Giving! Proceeds from the sale of clothing and items in Smith Family stores help to offset operational costs, ensuring more supporters' funds can go towards learning and support programs for disadvantaged Australian children.

By shopping at Smith Family stores you can help to reduce the volume of textile waste ending up in landfill. Our experienced staff sort and grade all donated items to ensure as many donated items as possible are reused. We also work with suppliers to up-cycle plastics, cardboard and other materials collected in our bins.

About 2 million tonnes of textiles end up in landfill every year, with the average person contributing 26 pieces of ‘wearable clothing’. Reduce your impact on the environment by donating good quality used clothing to our Blacktown retail store.
