We are currently inviting donations of good quality and clean Books, Records, DVD's, CD's and Jigsaws.

If you are able to help they can be dropped into our collection bins at the following locations:

Caltex - Avonhead

YMCA Bishopdale

Our collections bins should be available to around 10th of April but depending on the level of support we may withdraw bins earlier if required, so make sure you drop off early to avoid missing out.
