In 2017, the Bower Reuse and Repair Centre Cooperative was awarded $30,000 for the ‘From House to Home’ program to provide around 100 women and their children, who were victims of domestic violence, with free access to quality household goods. Once the women are ready to move on from temporary accommodation to new homes, they are in desperate need of household goods. The Bower worked with service organisations already supporting the women to allow them to visit a Bower retail outlet and shop against an agreed line of credit.
