About
Give Furniture, Change Lives
We gratefully accept furniture donations in two ways: during open drop-off hours or through our fee-based furniture removal service—whichever works best for you.We also offer a convenient pickup option for a fee—think of it as a mission-driven junk removal service. This allows us to remove almost any furniture or household items, regardless of condition. Our first priority is always to reuse what we can in our furniture bank to help those in need. Items we cannot reuse are responsibly recycled, donated, or disposed of.Whether you drop off or hire us to remove furnishings, your donation helps furnish homes—and futures. Thank you for your support!
Gently Used, Clean, or New Please. Click here for a list of what we take.
