Donate your curtains to help a family in need
With winter in full force Auckland’s two curtain banks urgently need filling up with good quality second-hand curtains to be distributed to families in need.
The Auckland Council, the DHBs and Healthy Homes Initiatives Kainga Ora and AWHI are working together to improve the quality of homes to keep children well, and out of hospital, in this time of cold and illness.
The curtain banks will wash, double line and size second-hand curtains to fit homes and will gladly use any donated curtain material. If you have any curtains in good condition (mould-free) or curtain material please drop them off at the following locations.
