Eastern Emergency Relief Network Inc

The Eastern Emergency Relief Network Inc (EERN) is a totally volunteer run not for profit organisation that has been operating in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne for 30 years. EERN addresses a need for a central collection point to recycle second-hand furniture and other household goods for re-distribution as emergency aid to families or individuals requiring these items. EERN assist those who are identified by our partner community organisations as having urgent needs. These needs are created by many factors such as long-term illness, unemployment, homelessness, loss of home and belongings through fleeing domestic violence, natural disasters. Members’ clients who have limited resources and who are struggling to buy essentials such as furniture, other household goods, bedding, basic food packs and personal hygiene products can access essential items at the EERN warehouse in Mitcham Victoria. We have like organisations in the Western suburbs - Western Emergency Relief Network and in the Inner suburbs of Melbourne - Rotary Inner Melbourne Emergency Relief Network.
