How It Works

Our trained volunteers inspect, clean and price every item to maximise its resale value—ensuring quality for shoppers and revenue for care.Retail & Online Sales
Items find new homes in our three op-shops (Kerikeri, Kawakawa, Kōwhai Village) and via special pop-up sales or digital marketplaces.Funds Stay Local
100% of proceeds are reinvested into Mid-Northland—covering patient care, day therapy, counselling, bereavement support and advance care planning.

“Our shops generate nearly a third of our annual budget—without them, we simply couldn’t keep hospice services free.”
