Finding a Good Place to Donate Furniture
So, where to donate furniture? You might not think of donating to your local food pantry or local charity. But these places often have pieces for donation. So, why not consider donating your unused furniture? There are several reasons to make a furniture donation.

When you donate furniture, you are taking an active part in helping others. Agency would never think about donating their old, broken, or unused furniture. But, when you include this type of non-essential item with your new home, you are doing your part in helping those in need. When you donate furniture, you may be able to write a tax write-off and claim deductions of up to 20% on your taxes. This can really add up, especially if you don't have many unnecessary pieces to give away.

Before you set off to make your furniture donation, make sure that you have a schedule to go with. This way, you will know exactly what you need to do and when. If you have a job, it's especially important to make sure that your work schedule and your charity's schedule are both on the same page. If not, it can be hard to work around your schedule, especially if you are forced to take care of other things in between your hours of work.

Give yourself a week. This is the best time to do this. You can find out the rates that charities usually charge for moving furniture from one location to another. Then, figure out the number of pieces you need to move. Most charities will be willing to pick it up, but some will require special service, so it's good to make that clear from the very beginning.

The next thing you'll want to do is contact your local charity. Find out the exact location of their facility-they may even have their information online. Fill out an online application with your contact information. A local charity should be able to give you an estimate of how much work it will take to load and remove the items, as well as tell you whether or not they accept furniture donations.

Once you've chosen a local charity to donate furniture to, make sure you confirm your appointment. Some places only allow people to pick up items during certain times, so it's important that you find out when they will be picking it up. Confirm your appointment so that you will be able to get there on time. Your pick up time will likely vary depending on the place where you donated the item, so you'll want to make sure you are picked up on time, so that it can be properly transported to the charity.

When it's time for your furniture pick up, the staff will be extremely patient with you, and you'll be ushered right into the room where your items will be waiting. Once inside, they'll explain to you all about their mission, as well as the specifics about how your furniture will be utilized once they receive it. This way, everyone who receives your furniture understands just what it means to help save the world. Your donation will go towards a variety of different habitat and science restoration projects across the nation.

To find a great place to donate old furniture, all you need to do is look around. Contact your local charity helps them and let them know which type of items you'd like to receive. Once you've made your selection, all you have to do is pick it up. That's all there is to it! A great day filled with accomplishment and pleasure!
