Furniture Donations

To donate, please send photos of each furniture item. We’ll determine if we’re able to place the item with a family before we accept the donation. Please make sure all hardware is in a plastic bag, taped to the furniture item.

We accept the following furniture:

  • Couches/sofas (no sleeper sofas)
  • Kitchen tables & chairs

If you’d like to give a monetary donation to support newcomers and refugees, please designate your financial gift to the “Care Fund”.
