A Habitat for Humanity ReStore at 50 Edmund Road in Pukehangi, Rotorua. Shopping here helps fund Habitat's local housing programmes, and the shop is run as a ReStore, selling pre-loved goods.
The shop sells good-quality clothing, homeware, books, furniture, records, games, puzzles and toys, and new arrivals are put out daily. Larger donated items can be collected, if the donor gives their address when they enquire. Donation enquiries are answered within two working days, and the shop also takes volunteer enquiries.
Habitat's ReStore network also funds work on shelter and housing in the Pacific and overseas, including the Build Back Safer and PASSA programmes. Its website says that for every $1 donated, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade gives an extra $4.
Our pick in Rotorua for a pre-loved find, with the money going to housing.
