RIMERN (Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network) is a multi-club Rotary project that means 'Residential Recycling'! Household goods are collected and donated to people in need. RIMERN helps people coming out of homelessness, domestic violence, refugee displacement, jail, loss of homes due to disaster or crisis. These people are clients of member welfare agencies, who are assisting them settle into homes. RIMERN helps to fit out these homes.
But RIMERN can only help if it has donated goods to distribute. And that’s where you or your friends can help. Do you have any small pieces of furniture you no longer need? RIMERN desperately needs tables, chests of drawers, bookcases, TV stands and any other small furniture items. They don’t have to be Immaculate. If you would be happy with them in your home, then they’re good enough.
If you have any items you would be happy to donate, please let either Rohan Williams or Roger Thornton know. Collection of items can be arranged. Alternatively, you can take them directly to RIMERN’s warehouse at 32-34 Lincoln Street, Brunswick East. The warehouse is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, 10 am–3 pm.
If you have any doubt about item suitability, check out the website: www.rimern.org.au for a list of items needed or Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/495145215239091.
Thank you, in anticipation.
