The Furniture Ministry collects gently used furniture and household items for families in need. There is always a need for volunteers to help pick up and deliver the items. Volunteers are placed on an email list and notified of dates, times and locations for pickup/deliveries. Typically we try to schedule Saturdays, however, weekdays are also a possibility. Because it is understood that a volunteer may not be able to help at all times, we are always in need of more able bodied volunteers. You do not need a truck to be a part of this ministry.
We are able to accept most gently used furniture and household items (including couches, chairs, dining tables/chairs, side tables, lamps, mattresses in good condition, dressers, pots/pans, utensils, towels, sheets, etc.) We are unable to accept large tube TV’s. We will accept washers and dryers IF we have a family who needs those items. We generally pick up on Saturdays.
We work closely with the Samaritan Inn (local homeless shelter) with clients who are transitioning from homelessness back into housing. Your furniture donations are greatly appreciated by these families.
If you have a donation, interested in volunteering, or you or someone you know needs furniture or household items, please contact us.
