How You Can HelpGive items
01. Donate your Items
We welcome your donations of saleable clothing, bric-a-brac, house and garden wares, books, toys, games and appliances. Please ensure that items are saleable (ie clean and in reasonable condition) and bring your items to our main site in Sauze-Vaussais during usual opening hours.
GIVE TIME
02. Become a Volunteer
If you can spare a few hours each week, or month and would like to join our team as a volunteer, please get in touch. We need volunteers for a whole range of activities, from sorting and shifting, selling and assisting, admin, cleaning, driving and delivering to ‘behind the scenes’ admin and organising.
GIVE FUNDS
03. Make a Direct Donation
You can make a direct financial donation in person at either site (the main site or furniture barn) during open hours. We can currently accept cash and cheques payable to ‘Hope 79 Pour Les Animaux’, and card payments at the main shop.
We can also accept donations by bank transfer – please contact us for details.
Speak Up
04. Spread the Word!
You can help by telling your friends, neighbours and family about Hope 79 Pour Les Animaux – maybe invite them along on Thursdays for a browse and a nice slice of cake!

05. Grab A Bargain!
Our entire operation depends on the generosity of our donors, volunteers and most importantly of all…our customers! Every cent you spend with us goes directly towards helping animals in need in our area. From clothing to all manner of household goods, we have bargains galore!
Come and browse every Thursday (and enjoy a cuppa and a slice of cake) and the first Sunday of the month (for our famous brunch baps!).
