Furnish a Family

Every piece you donate goes directly to a family referred by a social service agency — people starting over and building a home from nothing.

Protect Our Planet

Furniture is one of the fastest-growing categories in American landfills. Donating keeps tons of usable goods out of the waste stream and in circulation where they’re needed most.

How to Donate

Donating is straightforward — just make sure your items are on our accepted list, and bring them during our open hours. Most donations are distributed to families within days of arrival, so your furniture will make an impact almost immediately.

  1. Check what we accept. Download our accepted items list (PDF) before loading your vehicle. We have specific guidelines to ensure every donation is safe and useful for the families we serve.
  2. Arrange transportation. We do not offer pickup service. You may bring items yourself during open hours, or hire one of the transportation providers listed below.
  3. Arrive during open hours. Drop off your items at our warehouse in Springfield. Our volunteers will take it from there.
  4. Receive a tax receipt. We are a registered 501(c)(3) and can provide a receipt for your donation upon request.
Accepted & Not Accepted Items — Full List (PDF) Download before you load — includes furniture, clothing, appliances, and more

Ready to Make a Difference?

Your donation — a couch, a dresser, a set of dishes — means a family moves into a real home instead of an empty apartment. Thank you for giving what you have.
