Collection and sale of donated items

Clothing items can be dropped off in collection bins located near BEST Community Connections in Vivian Street Inverell or directly to the BEST Community Shed.
Please see our contact details at the bottom of the page to arrange collection of donated furniture items.
Access to laundry and shower facilities
Community members struggling with cost of living, unstable housing or suffering effects of drought may use our laundry and shower facilities.
Provision of Welfare Services
The BEST Community Shed provides welfare assistance to community members on Tuesdays and Fridays between 10am and 1 pm. Assistance includes food cards, clothing, bedding and furniture.
Donations
Profits from sales are reinvested into the Inverell and district community. Local not-for-profit organisations can apply to use the money raised by the Community Shed for a project that directly benefits the Inverell district community.
