Benetas Celebrates National Op Shop Week

Not-for-profit aged care provider Benetas will this week celebrate National Op Shop Week, acknowledging the contribution its Mornington-based Op Shop makes to the lives of older people. 

Benetas’ Corowa Court Op Shop has been part of the local community since 1963, with proceeds from the store going towards the lifestyle program run at Benetas Corowa Court residential aged care facility in Mornington.

Benetas’ General Manager of Residential Services and Quality and Compliance, Paula Trood, said the Op Shop heavily relies on its tight knit group of volunteers who donate their time to run the store.

“Benetas would like to officially thank and acknowledge the tremendous work and commitment of the volunteers at the Corowa Court Op Shop,” said Ms Trood.

On behalf of the residents and staff at Benetas Corowa Court who benefit so much from the funds raised by the Op Shop; we are so grateful.”

Money raised by the Op Shop has significantly improved the lives of residents at Benetas Corowa Court, with vital funds contributing to the purchase of a new mini-bus for outings.
Benetas remains committed to its involvement in the local community and working to provide older Victorians with services and support in aged care.
