Schedule a Pick-Up

Pick-up of larger items or large amounts of items is available by calling (202) 234-1010.

Furniture Donations:

We are grateful for your consideration in donating large furniture items to our resale shops and can work with you to coordinate a pick-up! Because of space limitations on the shops, we ask that donors contact us first with a description of the item so that we can determine if we can accommodate it at the moment. If you have furniture that you would like to donate, please call (202) 234-1010 and have the following information prepared:

• A description of the item(s)
• The pick-up address
• Your preferred pick-up date(s)

Thank you again for your generosity!
