- To assist refugees and asylum seekers, specifically in the area of greater Geelong
- To provide an Anglican network of communication and support

Urgent Need for Furniture Items for G-RAP Distribution to New Refugee Families in Geelong

We urgently need near-new or used furniture items for new refugee families coming to Geelong.
Small to medium-sized items would be preferable, including:
• Clean & practical tables & chairs, small cupboards, desks, sideboards
• Clean & compact couches and lounge chairs.
• Clean rugs & large mats.
• Clean adult beds & mattresses
• Occasional furniture & garden furniture, garden umbrellas

All items should be ones which anyone would accept and use in their own homes, and should be clean, undamaged & complete.
If you would like to donate any such items, please contact the Roy Hoevenaars (G-RAP Furniture Distribution Coordinator) on 0417-341-854.
