Thank you for donating your gently-used furniture and household goods and giving the chance to furnish a home for someone in need! Every year we redistribute thousands of furniture items and household goods to the formerly unhoused, women and children escaping abusive situations, and those living in poverty in St. Louis and St. Louis County.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why do you collect a fee?
Home Sweet Home provides furniture and other household furnishings to over 1,000 families a year. We do this at absolutely no cost to them! Your small pickup fee helps cover a portion of the the staff time, fuel costs, and warehouse storage associated with your donation. Thank you for your willingness to chip-in and help us provide dignity to families in need!
Do you service pickup requests in Illinois?
Unfortunately, at this time we are only able to service pickup requests in the state of Missouri. We won’t bore you with all the details, but the department of transportation requires special interstate licensing when crossing state lines. We hope to service some Illinois cities very soon!
Why do you not accept everything?
We’ve been accused a time or two of “being very picky”. And, you know what? We are! Our families come from a variety of difficult situations, and we take pride in ensuring every item they receive from our warehouse is clean, like-new, and in working-order. Additionally, our clients often live in smaller apartments or houses, so we may not be able to accept larger furniture pieces.
Can I drop off donations?
You sure can! We are currently accepting drop-offs at the loading docks every Monday-Friday between 9am and 2pm. Our warehouse is located at 10 Sunnen Drive, Suite 100, Maplewood, MO. We appreciate your willingness to donate!
How long does it take to receive a response/schedule a pickup?
We do our best to respond to every inquiry within one business day. Sometimes, it may take up to three business days. Generally, we are able to schedule pickups with 1-2 weeks, but this varies from day to day.
Can I receive a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes! Whether you drop items off at our warehouse or schedule a pickup, our staff and volunteers can provide a tax receipt.
