We accept quality, gently used and new home furnishings.

Items must be safe, clean, functional and in ready-to-use condition, with all parts assembled.

Upholstered items must be free of stains, tears and pet hair/odors.

Kitchen items must be clean and functional.

Please check our lists of items above to see if we can accept your donation. Many of our recipients live in small apartments with stairs so large, heavy items are not practical.

For us to help you, you’ll need to be referred by one of our agency partners. If you have a caseworker from a social service agency, please ask them if the organization is a Furnish Hope Partner.

If it is, your caseworker will let you know if you’re eligible to receive a referral. We can also help your caseworker become a partner if they are not already.

Furniture banks are registered charities, not-for-profit organizations or organizations designed to provide gently used household furnishings to individuals and families in need. If you are in need of furniture or have furniture you would like to donate, Furnish Hope would love to help you.

Any person or family without the financial means to make their empty house into a furnished home is said to be living in furniture poverty.

Not having a bed to sleep on means a poor night’s sleep, affecting your ability to live, work and study. Not having a sofa to sit on means you can be unwilling to invite friends or support workers into your home. Moving from a hostel into empty housing can lead to people giving up housing and returning to a shelter, because at least there they have a bed to sleep on. There are harmful physical, emotional, and financial consequences of furniture poverty.

Furniture poverty is a continuum:

Furniture insecurity: A household has the items they need for now. If something essential breaks or needs replacing, they do not have the means to do so. These households are often moving from one crisis to another.

Furniture destitution: Where a household has none or very few of the basic items needed; a long-term, chronic situation.

Furniture poverty affects too many low-income people in the United States, many of which are formerly homeless, women and children escaping abusive situations, victims of natural disasters, and newcomer families and refugees.
