Support Hospice Services through Your Donations
If you have items you would like to donate but find it challenging due to size or quantity, our HospiceShops are here to help. Simply reach out via phone or email to the nearest HospiceShop, and we’ll arrange to collect your generous donations.
Donation Guidelines: For your contribution to make the most significant impact, please ensure that your donations meet the following criteria:
- Good Quality: Donations should be of good quality to ensure their resale value.
- Clean and Functional: Items must be clean, with all working pieces, and in proper working order. If breakable, please pack them carefully.
- Furniture in Demand: Currently, there is high demand for furniture. However, we kindly request that donated furniture is free from rips, tears, or breakage.
Ways Your Donations Make a Difference: Your donations may find new homes through various channels, including our 5 HospiceShops, TradeMe, Marketplace, Instagram, or in a HospiceShop Auction. Our goal is to maximize the value of your contribution, generating funds to support essential Hospice services for patients, their families and whānau.
By donating thoughtfully, you play a crucial role in helping us continue our mission of providing compassionate care and support. Thank you for being a vital part of our community effort.
