WHY THE SHOP MATTERS
Helping Care Reach Far Beyond Our Shop
At Franklin Community Hospice, we see every day how important it is for people to stay in the place they know best — their own home, surrounded by the people they love.
For many patients and their whānau, home is where they feel most comfortable, connected and at ease. Our Hospice nurses and support teams walk alongside patients and families, providing personalised care that brings comfort, dignity and choice during an important time in their lives.
And that is why our Hospice Shop matters. Every donation, every purchase and every visit helps support the care Franklin Hospice provides.
COMMUNITY GENEROSITY
So Much More Than What’s on the Shelves
A Hospice shop is about so much more than what’s on the shelves.
Every donation, every purchase and every visit helps support Franklin Hospice and the care we provide to patients and whānau throughout our community.
What happens here in the shop reaches far beyond these four walls, helping make a real difference to people and families when they need it most.
There’s something special about a Hospice shop. It’s a place where pre-loved treasures find new homes, where people come together, and where the generosity of our community becomes something genuinely meaningful.

MAKING THE MOST OF EVERY DONATION
Making Every Donation Count
Every item donated to our Hospice Shop has value, and we work hard to make the most of every donation entrusted to us.
Our volunteers carefully sort donated goods to ensure as much as possible can be reused, repurposed or passed on rather than sent to landfill.
Items that cannot be sold in our shop are considered for other uses, including sharing suitable goods with other charities and community organisations, and repurposing unsaleable textiles into cleaning rags.
By finding new uses for donated goods wherever possible, we reduce waste and disposal costs, support other organisations in our community, and extend the useful life of the items generously given to us.
EVERY DONATION HAS VALUE
Whether something is sold, shared, reused or repurposed, our aim is simple: to create as much value as possible from every donation — for Franklin Hospice, our community and the environment.
