Sharing Connections Furniture Bank

Our donation quality standards are high because our families need them to be.

As our warehouse does not have the available space to repair or clean donated items - we regularly pass donated household and furniture items directly to client families in need.

Who sets our standards?

While we do have to follow various guidelines, ultimately we set the standard for acceptable donations. We feel it is important that our client families have high quality choices of items to place in their home as many won't have that opportunity or choice outside of Sharing Connections.

Use the check-list below before calling for our pickup service or before dropping off your furniture. Your donation meets our standards if you CAN check ALL of the items below:

	The sofa/loveseat or mattress/box set does not need any cleaning or repair (this means that it is in excellent condition and has no visible damage or stains and will require NO additional cleaning). A sofa and/or mattress cover does not qualify as excellent condition if original item has damage or stains.
	The sofa/loveseat is 10 years old or newer if it's a sleeper - slip cover must be removed.
	The furniture is designed for inside a home and not considered and/or could not be used for outdoor patio furniture (this includes all wicker furniture as wicker furniture is NOT acceptable).
	The kitchen/dining room table is not glass.
	The crib has all pieces included, has no chipped paint and/or damage, and meets today's acceptable standards (a pop cannot fit through the bars of the crib).
	All household items are in 100% working condition, need no repairs or cleaning, and can be given directly to a family - i.e. coffee pots, blenders, toasters, etc.
	Dinnerware, pots and pans should be in excellent condition - ready for a family to use immediately.

In keeping with our standards, if any item DOES NOT meet the required quality standards above, it will be refused - no exceptions.
