A couch someone no longer needs can become the first comfortable place another person has sat in for months.

A kitchen table can become the place where a family shares their first meal in a new home.

A bed can mean finally getting a good night’s sleep after experiencing homelessness.

At FIND Edmonton, donated furniture helps turn empty housing into homes. Donations we receive from the community are redistributed to individuals and families moving out of homelessness and into stable housing across Edmonton.

If you have furniture you no longer need, setting up a free pick up is simple, and your donation can make a lasting impact.

Why Furniture?

Housing is the first step, but an empty space can still feel overwhelming.

Furniture helps create comfort, routine, stability and a sense of belonging. A furnished home supports wellbeing in ways that are often easy to overlook until those essentials are missing.

A bed means rest.

A couch creates a place to relax.

A table gives people somewhere to eat, work, connect and rebuild daily routines.

Through FIND’s furniture bank, community donations help people create homes where they can feel safe, settled and supported.

What We Accept

We accept gently used furniture and household items that are clean, safe and ready for another home.

Some commonly accepted furniture items include:

• Sofas and loveseats
• Dining tables and chairs
• Dressers
• Coffee and side tables
• Bookshelves
  
• Living chairs
• TV Stands

Before furniture reaches a participant’s home, items are carefully reviewed by our team to help ensure they are safe, clean and suitable for reuse.

In general, donated items should be:

• In good, usable condition
• Free of major stains, rips, damage, or strong odors
• Clean and ready for immediate use
• Structurally safe

If you are unsure whether an item can be accepted, our team is always happy to help guide you through the process.

How to Book a Free Furniture Pick Up

Booking a pick up with FIND is easy.

Start by contacting our team through findedmonton.com or by calling 780.988.1717.

When reaching out, it helps to include:

• Photos of the furniture
• A brief description of the items
• Your address
• Any important access information like stairs, elevators, or parking details

Photos allow our team to better understand what is being donated and help us plan safe and efficient pick ups.

What Timelines to Expect

Our team schedules pick ups based on donation volume, driver availability and location.

Typically:

• Donation requests are reviewed within a few business days
• Pick ups are scheduled in advance
• Furniture pick ups outside of Edmonton take place on weekends

During especially busy seasons, timelines may vary slightly, but our team works hard to communicate clearly throughout the process.

How to Prepare Your Furniture for Pick Up

A little preparation helps our drivers complete more pick ups and deliveries across the city which helps more people move into furnished homes.

Before your scheduled pick up, please make sure to:

• Wipe down and clean furniture surfaces
• Remove personal belongings from drawers and shelves
• Use a lint brush or vacuum pet hair
• Clear pathways and entrances
• Have all pieces included
• Make sure items are accessible for loading

Having furniture ready to go helps the process run smoothly for both donors and our team.

Your Donation Stays in the Community

One of the most meaningful parts of donating to FIND is knowing your furniture stays local.

Community donations go directly toward supporting individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness right here in Edmonton. Every table, dresser, couch, and chair becomes part of someone’s fresh start.

This work is only possible because of people choosing to give their furniture a second life.

Thank you for helping create HOME alongside us.
