Household Goods offers a wide range of quality furniture and household goods for free to more than 2,500 families in need every year. We are grateful for the extraordinary generosity of our volunteer community and businesses and individuals willing to offer furniture and household goods that conform to our standards.

Our volunteers are aware of and feel their frustration when confronted with having to turn down items donors would like to receive. To avoid this scenario, we encourage everyone to review our guidelines thoroughly. A few of them might surprise you, yet they are based on thirty years of experience serving in the pursuit of our goals.

To ensure that we will accept your items, first read the guidelines and ensure that your items are in good condition, complete, and in good operating condition. We cannot supply our clients with damaged, broken, stained, faulty, or recallable items, so we cannot accept them.

NEW! Pickups from Resupply

To broaden the choices for the donors, Household Goods is partnering with Resupply, an organization owned by veterans that offers pickups outside of our volunteer pickup area in as little as two days and at a cost. Hit this Donation Pickup link on the page below to begin.

We needed everything, particularly towels, sheets, kitchenware, pots, pans, and dishes. Consider choosing something on the Amazon Wish List and delivering it to us.

We have a drop-box container for the local non-profit More than Words for DVDs, books, CDs, audiobooks, and video games at the bottom of our donation collection zone. There is also an Epilepsy Foundation drop-off container for clothing donations inside the donation collection location. This is an option for people in the community, and we ask you to help us keep doing this by not putting your items in the bins when they are overflowing.

If we cannot accept your item or you are not in your region, Please check our list of other organizations.

To furnish 2,600 homes each year, Household Goods requires a regular supply of quality furniture and household goods. Even with donations of goods and volunteers’ time, 200 dollars is all it takes to transform an empty house into a home. It would help if you considered donating Household Goods today.
