Our mission here at Furniture Bank is to provide families-in-need with the essentials needed to turn empty housing into a home—chairs, beds, tables, sofas, dressers, and housewares.
While these items are the ones that will make it into a new home, we also want to make sure we are providing a comprehensive service for donors who have hired us for their removal needs.
Let's break it down:
Pickups: We have expanded our pickup services, and will remove most things, as long as it is not hazardous and our team can safely move it. Learn more here.
For drop offs: We can only accept items in good condition. Damaged or stained items will not be accepted for drop off. Please refer to our accepted items list for more details on which items we cannot accept. Learn more here.
Preparing your items for their new home — we’ll make sure they’re ready to go to a family in need. And, of course, we’ll provide you with a tax receipt for your donation.
Things to consider when donating furniture:
Is the item in good condition?
Only items in good, usable condition – free from stains, tears, odours or major damage will be re-homed. Think about if you would comfortably give items away to a family member or friend in its current condition?
Is it something our families need?
While we’d love to accept all donations, our mission is to provide our clients with the essential items needed to create a home. This includes chairs, tables, sofas, dressers, and housewares. If you are planning a drop off, please refer to our accepted items list.
By sharing your gently-used furniture and home goods, you will tangibly change the life of a neighbor in need!
