Our mission is to give under-served families a sense of pride and to improve the quality of their lives by providing basic household furnishings. 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. Thank you for giving your furniture another life with a family in our community!
NEED TO REQUEST A PICKUP?
Do you have a larger item to donate? We can schedule a time to come to your home for pieces that may not fit in your vehicle. Please fill out our form below, and our staff will be in touch to schedule a pickup time! Donations moved outdoors are free, and indoor pickups (first floor only unless there is access to an elevator) are $35.
