I'm going to be moving soon and rather than trying to sell my stuff, I want to donate it?

Question

I currently live in Jersey City and I'm going to be moving soon (in a month) and rather than trying to sell some of my stuff, I want to donate it to a non-profit organization. If anyone can provide me with information of different organizations that will pick up things from your apartment, I will appreciate it.

I already tried Salvation Army and they are backed up for pick up uptil March end. I am moving out at the end of February and would like to donate all my stuff before then.

Answer 1

Also see if there is a FreeCycle in your area. Use Google to find out.

Answer 2

give it to goodwill

Answer 3

St. Vinvent de Paul, Goodwill, Habitat for Humanity also takes furniture.  I don't know if you have the National Kidney Foundation there, but they also pick up large items.

Thank you for thinking of others, it is very kind of you.

Answer 4

Try calling the First Call For Help phone line. Use a landline phone and dial 2-1-1. This referral service should have information about who can pick up donated furniture.

You could also try searching the Hudson County United Way Human Services list:

Answer 5

Try Good Will, VFW, Paralyzed Veterans, your local shelter, there are a lot of places.

Answer 6

Try Goodwill or Salvation Army as both places will make sure people who need these things most will receive them. Good for you as you set a great example.
