Our Hospice Shops

Our Hospice Shops in Taupō and Tūrangi play a vital role in fundraising for Lake Taupō Hospice. All funds raised through shop sales stay within the local community to support patients and their families.

Support Lake Taupō Hospice by shopping at our local Taupō & Tūrangi hospice shops

Run by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, our shops offer a wide range of second-hand treasures, including furniture, clothing, small appliances, kitchenware, sports gear, fine china, books, art, toys, games, puzzles, and linen.

By shopping with us, you're not only supporting hospice care, but you're also helping the environment by keeping quality pre-loved items out of landfills.

Hospice Shop Deliveries

In most cases our dedicated volunteer drivers are happy to assist with the pickup and delivery of larger items, making it easier for you to donate. If you have furniture, appliances, or other bulky items, please give us a call, and we will try our best to arrange a convenient time for collection.

Donating to Hospice

If you have quality second-hand items you'd like to donate, it’s a wonderful way to support hospice care in our local community. We kindly ask you to check that all items are in good condition, free of stains, holes, or other issues that may prevent us from offering them in our store.

We truly appreciate your thoughtful donations, as they directly contribute to the care and support we provide to local patients and families.
