Donate your Curtains and Spark Joy
The Wellington Curtain Bank desperately needs your help. Every year it upcycles and provides over two-thousand pairs of curtains to households across the Wellington Region.
With winter finally settling in, they are dangerously low on curtains and are at risk of not being able to meet the demand for this social service.
If you have non-mouldy curtains you no longer need, please donate them to the Curtain Bank and Spark Joy knowing that you have helped to warm up another person’s home.
The Curtain Bank also desperately needs lining for these curtains. If you have white/cream or grey poplin/polyester/cotton or calico sheets in your linen cupboard please donate them to the Curtain Bank.
