Father's Warehouse

FATHERS WAREHOUSE exists to raise money to support other amazing "Not for Profits" that are working hard to make the world a better place. One of those organizations is "Reach Beyond" (formerly HCJB) which is a global Christian missionary organization that uses media, such as shortwave radio, and community healthcare projects to share the good news and support unreached people in remote areas.

So when their management asked if we could help by selling a massive 22KV transformer and switchboard to raise money for their transmitter maintenance, we were happy to oblige.

Selling unusual stuff means you just have to sit and wait, sometimes for years until a buyer pops up. We are very pleased to report that it has finally sold, along with the accompanying
22kV switchboard.

Its a large lump of a thing and it will be nice to reclaim a bit of floor space.

Ok you’re asking, so what really does your charity do? Where does the money go?
Well here’s one place it goes. FATHERS WAREHOUSE supports the Kimberley Alta-1 school for aboriginal girls. This is an amazing place run but equally amazing staff who are totally committed to helping girls struggling with all of life issues.
We are so proud of them.

And yes we need your continued help with donations of electrical parts to keep doing what we are doing. Come on you tradies and engineers !!

We love donations as all money made is given away to other selected life changing charities. But sometimes we have to help a friend in need. So it is a joy to help a friend who has donated parts to FATHERS WAREHOUSE previously but whose ELECTRICAL business has now been forced to close. We are set up for and so occasionally do sell on consignment. It will take some time to process all these parts. But we know that what goes around, comes around. "Give and it will be given unto you".

It’s taken a few weeks to sort, catalogue and finally list on our huge eBay store, the electrical hardware that was donated by StoneEffects on the Sunshine Coast.

It doesn’t always happen this way but in this case, we sold some of those parts within the first 24 hours after listing them for sale.

While donations usually contain a variety of items, some being common and of low value, there is usually one or two absolutely gems and this was also the case with these parts.

Thankyou StoneEffects for the Siemens Sinumerik Control device that sold immediately for a great price. This type of device are such a huge help and enable us to to fund the various organisations that we financially support.

All of the money raised by sales is used to support other charities and not-for-profits.
