Seeking safe solutions for donors and families.

Canada’s First Distanced Furniture Removal Service!

Seeking safe solutions for the community in homes to help those without them. 

Today, not 24 hours after pausing operations, we have adapted and launched our ‘Distanced Furniture Pickup’ Service. Furniture Bank has always prided itself on upfront no-haggle pricing, providing total transparency with the costs as well as a charitable receipt from the goods that come when hiring our social enterprise. Unlike most junk removal options that require in-person assessment and pricing – we already had most of our service ‘distance-based’. We’ve just finished redesigning the process so your entire furniture removal service can be “distanced” (and safe) and in turn, ensure your furniture and home goods can be prioritized for families in crisis right now who cannot ‘stay in their home’ without this items! If you are self-isolated and at home and want to learn more about this – the team is online and ready to explain how it works and how it can help create homes for families in crisis.
