About Orphans & Widows Shop
Welcome to the Orphans & Widows Shop, located at 28 Russell Street in Toowoomba City, Australia. Our establishment is not just a store, but a point of interest where you can find a variety of pre-loved clothing, books, homewares, and other items. When you shop with us, you not only get great bargains, but you also contribute to helping the community.
Our friendly staff is always ready to assist you as you browse through our selection. Whether you're looking for a new outfit, a good read, or unique household items, you'll find it all here. And the best part is, every purchase you make goes towards supporting our charitable organization.
Since 1996, Orphans & Widows has been dedicated to supporting women, children, and communities in need. We operate not only in Australia and New Zealand but also internationally. Through our projects in India, Laos, and Kenya, we have been able to make a significant impact on the lives of those less fortunate.
In South-East Asia, we have worked tirelessly to provide for impoverished children and communities. What started with supporting just ninety children in India, Cambodia, and Honduras has now grown to hundreds of children across the region. The funds we raise locally in Queensland have made all of this possible.
But our efforts don't stop there. We recognize the pressing issue of juvenile homelessness in Africa, particularly in Kenya. In collaboration with the local charity Afri-Lift, we have purchased land and built an orphanage with attached farming land. This safe haven now provides support and care for twenty-two children who were once living on the streets.
In addition to our international projects, we also focus on delivering aid locally. Our shop on Russell Street has become a beloved spot in Toowoomba. Here, you can find a wide range of pre-loved clothing, books, and other items. Since opening our doors, we have formed strong partnerships with local charities and actively engaged with the community.
We are open from Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 4 pm, and on Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm. Our location is conveniently situated near the Toowoomba bus terminal, train station, and main shopping district, making it easily accessible to everyone.
So, come on down to the Orphans & Widows Shop and discover the joy of shopping for a cause. By shopping with us, you not only find great deals but also make a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Thank you for supporting our mission to create a better world for all.

Reviews of Orphans & Widows Shop
"Great second hand brands, lovely ladies at the counter."
"Literally cussed me out and called me names as I walked out of the store because I told them “don’t worry about it” when they refused to put me through for a $5 purchase on Eftpos because the minimum is “$10.” Been to other second hand shops that allowed me to make a $1 purchase with no extra charge and no problem. I was polite and said don’t worry, she literally cussed me out and called me names as I left. Unbelievable."
"The woman working there Friday 18 November 2022 was unbelievably rude to 2 separate customers there, I will never go back & I am sure both those customers & anyone else in the store, including myself, who witnessed this woman yelling at customers who were innocently looking at items they believed to be for sale, will never be back & will warn everyone they know not to venture in there. There were no signs to say not for sale or no entry to the room with a table of shoes presumably for sale & I suspect she has it set up like that so she can yell at customers across the shop to try to make them feel embarrassed by their mistake rather than politely walking up to them & explaining HER MISTAKE for PURPOSELY MAKING IT AMBIGUOUS as to what is for sale & where by DELIBERATELY HAVING NO SIGNAGE. She actually yelled “Uh, uh no no no” to the man looking at items, as if he was a dog jumping up at her. I have never seen anyone this rude for NO REASON before. She is going to be the cause of the shop having no customers."
"I shop at Orphans and Widows fairly often. The assistants are older ladies as young ladies do not volunteer. I have always found all the assistants to be helpful and friendly. Whether they are having morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea, they will come out to the counter to serve. They always treat customers as they like to be treated. While I have waited to be served, I have experienced some "not so nice" behaviour from some customers. Keep up the good work volunteers."
"Clothes are reasonably priced. But extremely poor customer service. Two older ladies who seem like managers who mainly work at the front counter are very rude, I don’t know how they are allowed to volunteer or work there with that kind of attitude. Customers are paying money to buy there, but the staff are busy sitting there in the lunch room or whatever gossiping about customers. Where can I forward this matter ? I bought clothes worth $90 but I was treated like I was given those clothes for free, such bad customer service. Why are they so rude and condescending towards customers that are not white Australians? Come on this is 2022. I hope the relevant department actually hires kind and nice staff and fires those miserable old grumpy staff who sit there all day gossiping."
