Donating Your Old Furniture

Why Donate?

Donating furniture isn’t just about decluttering; it's a way to give back to your community. Your partially used items can furnish the homes of families in need, support non-profit organizations, or even help raise funds for charitable causes.

What Can Be Donated?

Most gently used furniture items are welcome at donation centers. This includes sofas, chairs, tables, bed frames, and more. Ensure that the items are in decent condition, clean, and free of major damages.

Preparing for Donation

Before donating, clean your furniture to make it as presentable as possible. Remove any personal items from drawers and check for any loose parts or sharp edges.

Finding the Right Place to Donate

In Portage La Prairie, MB, there are several organizations where you can donate old furniture. Some of the notable ones include:

• Habitat for Humanity: They have a program called ReStore where they accept donations of various items, including furniture. ReStore resells these items and the profits are used to support Habitat for Humanity's projects. Donations can be dropped off at the receiving dock of ReStore, and they also offer pickup services for large items within city limits​​.
