Donate Your Furniture

This year we are offering furniture drop offs and limited pickups.  We ask that you make every effort to transport your items to the drop-off locations.  If this not possible for you, we do have limited pickup assistance available.

Donation items needed are: small beds, desks, love seat-sized couches, dressers, book cases, chairs, tables, and miscellaneous household items.
Please make sure all items are clean and in good condition before donating.

Volunteer Opportunities

Donation Drop Offs

On Drop Off Days, volunteers help receive donated furniture and household items, move them into the on-site trailer, and make sure everything is safely secured when the shift is finished.

Your help makes it possible to collect the items that will soon help international students feel more at home in Cincinnati.
