A good place to refer both people who have furniture to donate, and those looking for used furniture, is the Eva Rothwell Resource Centre. It is located in the old Robert Land school at 460 Wentworth St. N (just a little south of Burlington St.) It is a couple doors down from St. David’s Presbyterian church with the bright red doors and across the street from a small neighbourhood park.
Donations of furniture and housewares are trickling in at times – pouring in at others – and things are starting to get organized. A clothing room is up and running already, and is being capably coordinated by Sue Fowler. Several newly arrived refugees including residents of Micah House – along with members of the surrounding area – have already benefitted from the clothing, housewares and furniture available at the Eva Rothwell Centre.
The Centre hours are: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays from 9am -12 noon and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9pm.
Their phone number is: 905-526-1558.
