Furniture Appeal for Palmerston North

Refugee Services Furniture Bank is currently looking for quality fridges, double and single beds, dining tables and chairs, couches, easy (lounge chairs), chests of drawers and oil column heaters. We are also short on good quality pillows, duvets and children’s cots.

Then there are the “nice to have” items of rice cookers, microwaves, vacuum cleaners, coffee tables, bookshelves and small desks and TVs. We only accept TVs with DVD inputs and remote controls, larger than 14 inch.

The items need to be in good condition, in working order and free of any borer (for wood items), tears and stains, animal hairs, etc.

To donate, please contact the Palmerston North office on 06 355 1415, or you can email PalmerstonNorth@refugeeservices.org.nz and we will arrange collection. Or please drop off to our office at 55 Taonui Street, Palmerston North. Our collection service typically operates on a Thursday and Friday of each week.
