Please make a tax deductible donation to help ensure a safe, comfortable home for a family with emergency needs this Christmas.
Since the inception of our ‘From House to Home’ program in 2016, we have furnished homes for refugees and asylum seekers, survivors of domestic violence, those who have been homeless and others in most dire need in our community.
We do this, responding to individual needs, by facilitating the re-homing of household goods, furniture and appliances from those who no longer need those items to those who desperately do … helping to turn a basic ‘house’ into a genuine ‘home’.
With the cost of living crisis biting hard, ‘from house to home’ is needed more than ever… please donate today
The Bower works in partnership with humanitarian service organisations directly assisting and providing accommodation to families in crisis.
Caseworkers from these services refer asylum seekers, survivors of domestic violence and others in need to the Bower to select at no cost the items that suit their individual needs and preferences.
The Bower then sources, collects and delivers those items to individuals and families in need.
Over the last 7 years, thanks to the generosity of many in the community such as yourself. the Bower has been able to help many hundreds of individuals and families make their houses functional, safe and comfortable.
This simple service helps children to go to school and parent/s to be able to apply for jobs and seek employment.
In short, ‘From House to Home’ allows people who have come from very difficult circumstances, to give them the stability and security to move on with their lives.
Bower Reuse & Repair Centres is an environmental charity dedicated to championing re-use and repair and living sustainably, while supporting those in our community most in need.
