To Drop-off Furniture Donations
You are welcome to drop off your donation directly at our warehouse during regular business hours. In most cases, we ask that you come to the warehouse door located in the alley directly behind our building, which is located in downtown Bloomington at 515 North Center Street. Our hours are Monday-Thursday 9am to 12pm. Please call ahead and let us know you are coming, 309-829-6500.

To Arrange a Furniture Donation Pick-up

If you cannot drop off your donation, you can arrange for us to pick it up. Please allow at least two weeks or more notice.  You can call us at 309-829-6500.  Although we do not charge a fee to pick up items, we do ask for a voluntary donation to assist with the expenses related to the operation of the trucks. The donation can be of any amount, although $29 covers our expenses using a volunteer driver and helper. We appreciate and are thankful for your furniture and financial donations.
