This year money raised will go towards the crisis and support line, which is often the first port of call for women when they need support.
"We have a shortfall between the funding we receive to provide this vital service 24 hours a day, seven days a week and the actual cost to us, so there's huge pressure on us to seek additional funding from our local community," Ms Hart said.
In the year to June 30, the Hastings Women's Refuge received 673 crisis calls but was funded to only deliver 417.
"There is no way that we would turn women away once we have met the numbers of calls that are funded.
"When women need us we must be available at the end of the phone and so it is crucial that we find the extra funding to cover this cost."
Last year's shop not only raised money for the organisation but enabled customers to learn more about the refuge as well as getting some great deals on household items, she said.
"We had some lovely stories from last year. There was a man who bought a lounge suite from us and then brought back photos of his family on it because they'd never had a lounge suite before, which was a really cool story to have."
Board member Bronwyn Harman said last year $8000 was raised and the board was hoping to raise more than $10,000 this year.
Among some of the items available are a kids tractor, a wide range of clothing and good quality furniture, she said.
Donations are still needed and can dropped off at the shop. Any volunteers would also be appreciated.
The pop-up shop, at 108 Heretaunga St, will run until Friday, October 13.
