About

Household Goods, Inc. is a nonprofit that provides a full range of donated furniture and household items, free of charge, to help people in need make a home.


Household Goods, Inc. works with over 300 social service agencies who schedule their clients for appointments to come to Household Goods to obtain the furniture and household items they need to furnish their homes. The people who come to Household Goods have at least one thing in common-- they need help during a difficult time.


Many in need are: recently homeless; veterans; fleeing domestic violence; children, youth or elderly in need of services; living with disability or illness; victims of fires; and/or trying to get by on minimum wage.
