Porirua Supporters
A big thank you to all our donors who recently provided quality furniture and household items for new arrivals to Greater Wellington in December. You helped turn a house into a home! Many thanks again—we simply couldn’t do what we do without your wonderful support!
We are currently collecting the following quality items for our next group:
- Double/queen and single beds
- Washing machines
- Cots and basinets
- Oil column heaters
- Good quality blankets
- Fridge-freezers, microwaves
- Couches & lounge chairs
- Dining tables and chairs (especially small tables)
- Computers
- Car and booster seats – no more than 10 years old (see Plunket’s website for guidelines on 2nd-hand car-seats)
- Kitchenware (sets only)
- Clean floor rugs
- Curtains
Please note that we are unable to take clothing, toys, broken items, stained or marked items; we unfortunately do not have the resources to store or fix these items. Thanks for your understanding!
To make a donation, call us on 04-805-0304 or email [email protected] with your donation details, and we will be in touch to arrange collection. We pick up donated furniture on Thursdays during working hours.
