Question NZ equivalent of Goodwill?

I have some women's and baby clothing I would like to donate. Is there an NZ equivalent of Goodwill or a mission in the Christchurch area that would welcome such donations?

I've seen several Salvation Army stores around. There are also the opportunity shops, though I'm not sure which operate as charities and which are for-profits:

Op-Shopping Around Christchurch - feature - Pulse / Auaha - Christchurch City Libraries

I found this, too, which is a women's shelter in Chch that seems to accept material good donations:

Christchurch Women's Refuge

And here's a more complete list of women's organizations in the city:

The Women's Centre - Christchurch - New Zealand

I'm surprised that they have a Goodwill in Chch. They do have one in Nelson.

In addition to the already-mentioned Salvation Army, they also have a St Vincent de Paul outlet in town.
