Donate Furniture

In 2024, thanks to the generosity of our community, we provided 2,168 pieces of furniture to 206 individuals and families
helping turn empty spaces into warm, welcoming homes.
As you clean out your home, office, hotel, or rental property this spring,
 please consider donating your gently used furniture to help someone
 starting fresh after homelessness, institutional care, or crisis.
Your donation:
  • Keeps usable items out of landfills
  • Supports local families in need
  • Brings comfort, stability, and dignity to new beginnings

Give a Gift

A financial donation directly supports our mission to end furniture poverty by providing essential furniture and household items to families and individuals transitioning from homelessness or other challenging circumstances.
Every $500 donated helps furnish one home, providing a bed, couch, dining set, and other essential items. This transforms empty apartments into comfortable homes where families can thrive.
Donations help cover transportation, warehouse costs, and logistics necessary to collect, store, and distribute furniture to those in need efficiently.
Your generosity fuels every aspect of our work, enabling us to serve over 5,000 individuals annually. With your support, we can continue transforming empty spaces into homes filled with comfort, hope, and opportunity. 
Thank you for being a vital part of our mission!
