I would try giving away furniture for free on the following sites:
Facebook Marketplace
http://www.Freecycle.org
Craigslist
You will often find that people in need as well as organizations or students in
need will come pick it up.

I’m curious as well.
I have a simple glass top dining table that seats 6 that I’m happy to donate
but when I priced pick up it was almost $150. Table comes in two pieces. Glass
top and metal base.

Hi,Not sure if anyone has suggestions for an economical way to transport
donated furniture to Acton? The “ReSupply” service is expensive, in my opinion,
plus I’ve had recent experience with unprofessional service from that
particular vendor. For those of us who do not have a truck, are there
alternatives? I know the Acton Household Goods org relies on volunteers and
does not do pick-ups in Lincoln.

Happy Labor Day!

| Help us Meet the Surging Demand for Help |
|
| | |
| | |
We are experiencing a surge in referrals for families who are in great need of
furniture and household items. In July alone we provided essential furniture
and household items for 249 homes, serving 367 adults and 299 children. They
are families who lack the resources to buy items they need, even in second-hand
markets.
Please help us keep up with the high current demand for beds, couches, and
kitchen/dining tables. The effort you make to donate your items will make an
enormous difference in the quality of life for those who receive them.
In an effort to make donating easier:
EXTENDED DROP-OFF HOURS: We are extending our Saturday drop-off hours until 2pm
through September (closed Labor Day weekend).
COUCHES-ONLY DRIVE: We are holding a one-day Couches Only Drive in Acton and
Concord. Our goal is to pick up 11 couches on September 11. We will only have
room for couches that day, but you may drop off other items during our drop-off
hours or connect with ReSupply to schedule a pick up.
Not in Acton or Concord? Consider scheduling a pick up through our partner
ReSupply.
We know that getting bigger items to us can pose a challenge. At this time, our
pickups are very limited. We only have the capacity to pick up a fraction of
the furniture required to meet the current need. We are calling on the
collective creativity of the community to help us find ways of getting the
furniture our clients need out of storage and into our showroom.
- Consider renting a truck on your own or with your friends or neighbors to
bring in furniture.
- Host a furniture drive with your social, faith, or community group; email
i...@householdgoods.org for more information.

| Most Needed Now: Furniture and Smaller Housewares |
|
| | |
| | |
We are very low on these necessary items:
- Couches/Sofas
- Dining/Kitchen tables
- Dish sets
- Flatware
- Towels, hand towels, wash cloths (all sizes)
Donation drop-off hours are Tuesdays, Thursdays and 9am-noon and Saturdays
9am-2pm.
Please review our Donation Guidelines before bringing your donations to us.
Thank you!
No items to donate but still want to help? Our Amazon wish list is always a

| The Need is ContinuousPlease Help Fund a Bed - or Fund a Bed a Month |
|
|
|
| | |
| | |
For families living without furniture, finding beds to sleep in is the highest
priority. Every year, we do our best to provide 4,000 adults and 3,000 children
with good-quality, clean mattresses, free of rips, stains, or odors. This
requires re-stocking mattresses at a rate of 150 per week – far higher than the
rate of donated mattresses we receive. Our Fund a Bed and More program helps
fill the gaps by purchasing mattresses or other essential items when our
donated supplies run low. Please click here to Fund a Bed today. All proceeds
will be used to purchase beds and other critical items to give, free of charge,
to families in need. Please consider a monthly gift by clicking "frequency" in
our drop down menu and selecting Monthly. |

We will miss you, but hope you come back next summer or on the weekends during
the school year. You are always welcome! |
|
|
| Volunteer Help Currently Needed MostLOAD CLIENT TRUCKS: Help clients after
they have selected furniture from the showroom by loading the items into their
trucks.
QUALITY CHECK DONATED ITEMS: Join a team that checks and processes incoming
donations and assembles bed frames to make sure the items we are providing are
good quality and complete.
NEW DONATION SHIFT: Join our Saturday swing shift (11am-2:15pm) to help make
our extended furniture donation hours possible.These and many other volunteer
opportunities are available. If you are interested in volunteering, please
