Volunteer Christine Challman said there had been many changes since the shop first opened, and many new faces joining in the fun of running the shop.
“We love working with the community in the local surrounds, plus around the world,” she said.
“We have customers taking clothes as far away as Kenya, Philippines and Fiji just to name a few.
“We also work closely with the homeless response team, and in January, we supported those who came to stay with us in the old courthouse, while the Longwood and Mansfield fires were happening.
“At the end of last year, we donated to the Rotary Portsea Camp, which saw three children have a trip of a lifetime.
“After our book fair, a delivery of a trailer filled with books was donated to the Albury Rotary Lifeline Book fair.”
Thanks to incredible support from the community, 2nd Chance Op Shop can offer prices that enable everyone to have money left in their pockets when they leave.
You will find 2nd Chance Op Shop at 69 Arundel St South, next to the Anglican Church.
You can find out more by checking out its Facebook page @2nd Chance Op Shop Benalla.

“We would love to have you join us,” Ms Challman said.
“We hope to see you soon.”
