Household Goods Sorting & Furniture Processing

How do we prepare donated household goods and furniture for individuals and families? See for yourself at our warehouse in Walpole! The specific activity will depend on the day of the week and the greatest need.

Your group may go through the sorting process, turning gently-used donations of household goods into complete dish packs, glass sets, silverware sets, or kitchen starter kits. Or your group will bring furniture through the entire process of getting each item ready for client selection. This physical and organizational challenge can be arranged for most weekdays at varying times.

Order Gathering

Regardless of whether a client is served in person or virtually, volunteers gather every single item they choose. Choose a set of bed sheets perfect for a young girl or locate the dining table and chairs a veteran chose for their new apartment. This personal volunteer experience gives groups a glimpse into the furniture and household goods clients choose to make their new place a home. This opportunity is dependent on the appointments scheduled for a given week.

Drop-off

Almost every Saturday, we open our loading dock for the community to drop off dozens of gently-used furniture pieces for clients. This involves an energetic team of volunteers to unload, process, and inventory the items as they come in. This teambuilding challenge can take place almost any Saturday from 9:00 to 12:00.
