The new or gently used furniture items that are given away variety widely and help with one of many reasons. Some seniors or disabled people may be able to get free home delivery as well. The types of free furniture given away include, but are not limited to, the following.

  • A family living in poverty that is getting established into a new home may be given items, including beds for a kid, a couch, dresser or kitchen tables.
  • A formerly homeless person can be given beds, blankets, kitchen utensils as well as other needed furnishings for a new apartment.
  • Women or fleeing domestic violence are often major beneficiaries of the charities that pass out free furniture, as the household stuff given out will help them furnish a new place to live.
  • Low income senior citizens can often get free furniture items that focus on mobility issues, with free delivery as well as any needed assembly also offered.

The items that may be provided near you are almost always donated from the public. They will be gently used, but tend to be in decent shape. There are even businesses that may donate to a furniture bank, such as local colleges, hotels, manufactures, universities, and even national furniture retailers.

 

 

 

There are different ways to apply for furniture assistance. Some of the charities that run these services will require the applicant to have a referral from a social worker. Almost every single furniture bank will require proof of hardship, so applicants should bring details on their income, assets, savings, and monthly expenses. Priority is often given to homes with children, single moms fleeing domestic violence, or the formerly homeless.

While everyone wants furniture given to them for free, many people may not qualify. Maybe their income is too high, or there is not a charity program in their area. In these cases they can shop for low cost second hand furniture at a local thrift store. There are thousands of these around the nation. Some of the larger providers include Goodwill, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, Salvation Army, and many others.

Places to get free household items and furniture

One of the nation's leading operators of both thrift stores as well as free household furnishing programs is Saint Vincent De Paul. There are hundreds of churches that are part of this charity organization. Anyone seeking help will need to have a home visit take place by a Venetian, which is a volunteer from the group.

  • Most of what they provide is basic needs. This can include furniture to help a very low income family get established. They may not only provide the items someone needs (whether it is a bed or a place to sit such as a chair), but the Venetians may even deliver goods to the elderly or sick. So many social services are available, and find locations of Saint Vincent De Paul churches.

Another charity to try for furniture and stuff for a home, this one being a Christian based group, is the Salvation Army. They help anyone, regardless of their gender, race, or religion. In fact, many people that seek free furniture vouchers are the vulnerable, such as senior citizens, immigrants, single moms and the working poor.

  • Free vouchers  from the Salvation may be given to shop at their furniture distribution centers or Family Stores. The items available change based on the week and month. In some cases, the items available can even include seasonal goods such as fans to cool a home. This will be in addition to the standard items such as couches, futons, TVs, tables, lamps, kitchen items, and more. If someone does not qualify for a free voucher, they can buy the furniture they need. Find how to apply for Salvation Army social services.

 

 

 

Goodwill Industries has furniture vouchers or generally sells low cost goods, including cheap secondhand furniture online. They use donations of surplus furniture and sell it back to the community. The money raised goes to help pay for their other assistance programs available, including job placement or training and more. This charity is a great resource for struggling families.

Many churches have free furniture banks. They help families that have a low to moderate income or the formerly homeless furniture a house. There are national faith based groups, such as LOVE Inc. or United Methodist, as well as local churches. Not only may critical household items be given, but many also have clothes, food, and more. The free furniture they provide generally will be gently used, but volunteers from the community will prepare them for clients. Find information on churches that help people in need.
