Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Doo Stop Op Shop in Branxton. We are overflowing from your generosity at present. 🙂 Unfortunately, we are currently short of volunteers to sort through it all, so it will take a bit of time to clear our back room. Please help us by holding off further donations for a few weeks to give us time to catch up. Jodie's Place very much appreciates your support! 🌻🌻🌻

Please be advised that the Doo Stop Op Shop in Branxton (75 Maitland St) will temporarily vary opening hours to week days Mon-Fri, 10am-3pm only. No Saturday opening hours at this time, sorry. This is due to our current shortage of volunteers. We'll be back to our usual hours as soon as we have new teams sorted. Thank you for your patience and your support. 🙂🌻🌻

Thank you so much to and their community who came together for a Women's Health event earlier this month.

Together they raised over $800!

We are grateful to some of our long-time supporters, Megan and Amber, who spoke about the work of our team of volunteers and the impact they have through the Hunter Domestic Violence Support and Advisory Service, Jodie's Place and the Doo Stop Op Shop.

We apologise for the closure of the Doo Stop Op Shop today. We have unplanned electrical maintenance going on.🤷

We owe another huge thank you to the Vintage at Rothbury. They have provided us with the much-needed renovation and refurbishment of our Jodie's Place cottage.
Currently we have vacancies and will be proud to provide shelter to women and children escaping domestic violence.
