Furniture Donations

If anyone has furniture or household items to get rid of because you have merged two households, I highly recommend contacting the Partnership for the Homeless. They have a program called Furnish a Future, which provides basic furniture, household necessities for people who used to be homeless and now have a place to live.

I dontated some of my things and FHs yesterday. They came (to my 4th floor walk-up) and picked up a bunch of things.

If anyone is interested, their number is (718) 875-5353. I don't know if they will do LI pick-ups, but they do cover the 5 boroughs.

Re: Furniture Donations

I agree 100% . we have donated many items to them over the past year and they are so accomodating and what they are doing is so special and meaningful. other palces like salvationa rmy and st vincent de paul would not take perfectly good furniture in excellent condition. And it was sucha shame becuase someone could really benefit from it. And Partnership for the Homeless did come and take the furniture and an older TV and I know they'll be used to give someone a real home.
