Please review the guidelines below before completing the furniture donation form.

Follow these guidelines when considering items to donate:

  • Quality, gently-used, good and new items will be accepted.

  • Items must be safe, clean, free of odors and functional.

  • Items must be in ready-to-use condition with no repairs needed and with all parts assembled.

  • Items must be free of rust, food residue, and not chipped.

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

  • Items must be from a non-smoking household.

  • Kitchen items must be clean and functional.

 

We require that gently-used furniture is just that: clean, functioning, free of odors, and not in need of repair.  Please do not attempt to give us furniture that has rips, stains, tears, cigarette burns, water damage, showing signs of frayed fabric, and/or pet hair.

​

Make It Home does not have the capacity to clean or repair soiled or damaged items.

 

Kindly note that your generous donations to Make It Home may be sold to further enhance our services and provide new, clean mattresses for our clients, ensuring they receive the best support possible.
