Our administration office has limited storage space. However, we continuously welcome donations of non-perishable food, new or unopened personal care items, and any goods that are new and in their original packaging. We favor a coordinated approach to receiving these goods to guarantee their timely use and prevent overburdening our storage systems.

If unsuitable or excess items are donated, this becomes an expensive problem as we need to arrange for the disposal of those items.  As a charitable organisation this diverts much needed funds away from our programs and goods into landfill. 

If you have goods you would like to donate, please contact us on (02) 4228 0955 or email us at info@whhhs.org.au
