FINDERFEST 2026 - QUEENSLAND'S BIGGEST OP-SHOP GIVEAWAY

Vinnies Queensland is bringing back the state’s biggest op-shop event with Finderfest 2026 Golden Giveaway, a thrilling&nbsp;16-day shopping experience giving customers the chance to win their share of more than $70,000 in prizes.&nbsp;
Running from Friday 6 March to Saturday 21 March, Finderfest will transform op-shopping across the state, with every purchase helping support Queenslanders experiencing poverty, homelessness and hardship.
For every $10 spent in-store, shoppers will receive a scratch card with a unique code. Simply scratch, enter the code online and discover an instant win, or go in the running to win one of four major prizes: 
<ul>
<li>Golden Groceries: $20,000 in IGA vouchers</li>

</ul>
The more customers shop, the more scratch cards they receive, increasing their chances to win while giving back to&nbsp;Queenslanders in need. While FinderFest offers life-changing prizes and plenty of excitement, it is also a vital fundraiser supporting Vinnies&nbsp;Queensland’s mission to assist those doing it tough. From people experiencing homelessness and emergency crises, to&nbsp;families struggling with rising grocery and household costs. Vinnies Queensland General Manager, Drew Eide said Finderfest 2026 is a powerful way to bring communities together&nbsp;while highlighting growing financial pressures.
 “With cost-of-living pressures continuing to bite across Queensland, Finderfest is a feel-good way for shoppers to stretch&nbsp;their dollars while helping others who are doing it tough. From 6 to 21 March, every $10 spent in our Vinnies shops&nbsp;earns a scratch card with the chance to win exciting prizes," Mr Eide said.
 “We’re incredibly grateful to our major sponsors; IGA and Flight Centre, along with our dedicated volunteers, staff and&nbsp;loyal customers who make Finderfest possible.
 “Running across Vinnies stores statewide, Finderfest shows the power of community. The money raised in our shops&nbsp;goes straight back into local support - helping people access emergency relief, housing assistance, financial support and&nbsp;essential services when they need it most.”
 Proceeds from every purchase at Vinnies contribute to providing food, shelter and essential assistance to Queenslanders&nbsp;in crisis.
