Why should you donate furniture to a furniture bank? There are three reasons.
- First, it’s a very worthy cause. It will go directly to a family in desperate need of essential home furnishings. People who receive furniture from furniture banks are victims of natural disasters who have lost everything they owned, women and children escaping from domestic violence, working families below the poverty line, and others requiring a hand up — not a hand out.
- Secondly, furniture banks make it effortless for you to dispose of furniture you’re planning to replace. With one phone call to your local furniture bank, an appointment will set for a truck to come to your home, remove the items you want to donate, and leave you with a tax receipt. Simple as that! As an added bonus, you’ll feel good knowing that your furniture won’t be sold or otherwise redirected.
- Lastly, it’s good, green thinking. Furniture banks keep thousands of tons of items from going into incinerators or landfills every year. You can donate your usable furniture to a needy family instead of dragging it to the curb and knowing it’s going to be thrown away.
