Hello, friends! Thanks to your generosity, our furniture storage spaces are very full!
Would you consider making a financial donation to help us get this furniture into the homes where it's needed?
Your financial support helps us put gas in our trucks, pay for storage, and cover the staff time needed to collect, organize, and deliver donated furniture.
We're so grateful for all the ways you help us turn donated furniture into comfortable, welcoming homes. Thank you!
Items we can use: kitchen items--plates, bowls and silverware along with pots and pans. Comforters and bedding for twin, full and queen sizes. We also have a need for a crib or a toddler bed.
Everyone deserves to come hometo a bed to sleep in, a table to gather around,and the everyday comforts that make a space feel like their own.
Our mission
HomeAhead helps individuals and families create comfortable, functional homes after experiencing homelessness, hardship, or life transitions, especially when they are starting over with little or nothing.
Since 2019, our community has helped furnish homes for more than 1,500 people. By collecting and redistributing high-quality, gently used furniture and household essentials, we help neighbors build stability and dignity while keeping usable goods out of the landfill.
Together, we give furniture a meaningful second life—and help people begin again at home.

GIVE FURNITURE, CHANGE LIVES
We gratefully accept furniture and household-item donations in two ways: through our free open drop-off hours or our fee-based furniture removal service, whichever is most convenient for you.
Our removal service offers an easy, mission-driven alternative to traditional junk removal. For a fee, our team can pick up nearly any furniture or household item, regardless of condition. We first look for items that can be reused through HomeAhead to help furnish homes for people in need. Items we cannot use are responsibly donated, recycled, or disposed of.
Whether you drop off furnishings or hire us to remove them, you are helping turn empty spaces into homes and supporting a more sustainable community. Thank you for being part of it.
