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 calling 704-371-3001 ext. 207 or emailing the Furniture Bank. Scheduling can take up to two weeks depending on the season, demand, and availability of drivers.
