Check out our AMAZON WISHLIST
(select ship to: Heidi Ruud address)
We are always in need of furniture and household items.
We only accept items in good, usable condition, because our clients deserve it.
DONATE FURNITURE & HOUSEHOLD GOODS
We are currently booking pickups two to three weeks out.
DIRECTIONS TO DONATE:
Please complete one of the two forms below. You can expect a response within 24 hours.
1.Please review the list below to learn what we do accept (green section), and do not accept (red section).
2. Please make sure your items are clean, gently used, quality items with no stains, rips, or scratches.
3. We only do PICKUPS within WASHTENAW COUNTY and fewer than 30 minutes from our facility.
4. Items for the pickup must be moved to a garage, porch, or outside before your scheduled pick up time. We do not go into homes.
5. Pickups are to benefit people exiting homelessness; we are not professional movers.
6. Pickups are scheduled on Monday mornings and Wednesday afternoons. Because client move-ins are our primary focus, we work around that schedule. If you need a quick pickup, we will do our best, but it is often not possible.
7. We schedule DROP-OFFs BY APPOINTMENT ONLY:
MONDAYS: 11am - 2pm
TUESDAYS: 11am - 2pm
WEDNESDAYS: 11am - 1pm
THURSDAYS: 11am - 2pm
FRIDAYS: 11am - 1pm
(Other appointment times can be arranged.)
We kindly ask that you carefully review our lists of accepted and non-accepted items below and sort through your items before delivering them to avoid dropping off unwanted goods that will need to be re-donated.
You may also purchase new items. Please see this AMAZON WISHLIST to purchase or get ideas.
