An Op Shop festival of giving, finding, and connecting
By RangeCare
Something special is coming to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland this winter, as RangeCare invites locals and visitors alike to connect, give back and enjoy a relaxed day out in Mapleton.
Treasures & Togetherness—an op shop celebration of giving, finding and connecting will be held on Monday 29 June from 10:00am to 1:00pm at the RangeCare Op Shop on Obi Obi Road. Free to attend, the event is all about bringing people together in a warm and welcoming community space.
For one day, the much-loved op shop will transform into a vibrant hub of activity. Visitors can browse a unique range of pre-loved treasures, uncover hidden gems, and soak up the easy-going atmosphere that captures the charm of Hinterland living.
Families will feel right at home, with free games and activities creating plenty of entertainment for all ages. A complimentary sausage sizzle, along with other food and drink options, will keep everyone fuelled throughout the morning. There will also be limited-edition merchandise available, and a special 40-year celebration guest book where visitors can leave a message and be part of RangeCare’s ongoing story.
Marketing Officer Rebecca Whitaker says the event is about more than just shopping.
“This is a chance for the community to come together, connect and celebrate what makes the Hinterland so special. Every visit, purchase and conversation helps support the important work RangeCare does across our region,” she said.
RangeCare Fundraising Officer Stacey Rogers said the day highlights the simple ways people can make a meaningful difference. “Op shops are such a powerful way to support your community. Whether you’re picking up a treasure, donating or just stopping by for a chat, it all helps fund services that support people locally,” she said.
More than just a market-style event, Treasures & Togetherness showcases the important role op shops play in supporting essential services across the region. Every purchase and donation helps fund programs for individuals and families who need it most.
As RangeCare celebrates 40 years of service, this event is a reminder of the strength, generosity and connectedness of Hinterland communities—and an open invitation for everyone to be part of it.
