Donate to the Furniture Bank
Donations of furniture, mattresses, and appliances are distributed to families in need who have a referral from a partner organization in Mecklenburg County. All items are provided free-of-charge.
Furniture, mattresses, and appliances in good working condition are gladly accepted at the Furniture Bank location only. (No furniture can be accepted at the Spratt St donation drive-thru.) Limited pickup is available for large furniture items by contacting the Furniture Bank directly. Scheduling can take up to two weeks depending on the season, demand, and availability of drivers.
Please ensure all donations are clean, undamaged, and free of pet hair. To ensure customer dignity, we reserve the right to refuse donations that do not meet these standards.

- Dressers and chests of drawers

- Mattresses, bedsprings, bedframes, and bed foundations (twin, full, queen only)
- Chairs
- Sofas and loveseats
- Refrigerators
