Donate Furniture
We thank you for your generosity and heart for service. By donating your gently used furniture, you help us share Christ’s love and bring dignity and hope to families in need. Because many of the families we serve live in smaller apartments, we are unable to accept larger items such as armoires, entertainment centers, sectional sofas, large buffets, or king-size beds.
Before completing this form, please review Items We Accept and Items We Cannot Accept. You will be asked to acknowledge that you have reviewed this information before submitting the form.
Volunteer
Whether you're moving furniture, making a call, welcoming a family, or praying with someone, every volunteer plays a part in helping share the love of Christ in a tangible way.
Delivery Teams: Deliver donated household items directly to families in need.
Donation Pick-up Teams: Pick up gently used furniture from donors so that it can bless another family.
Warehouse Volunteers: Receive, organize, and prepare furniture while welcoming, encouraging, and praying for families.
Administrative Volunteers: Help behind the scenes by scheduling donation pick-ups, and coordinating warehouse appointments with families.
Give
Your generosity allows us to come alongside individuals and families with compassion, practical care, and hope when they need it most. Whether you make a financial gift or choose an item from our Amazon Wish List, you're helping us meet real needs and remind people in our community that they are cared for.
Request Furniture
Because of a backlog of delivery requests, The Potter's Hands is currently only accepting pick-up requests. A pick-up request means clients may come to the warehouse, select items, and take their furniture with them at that time. While our team is unable to provide delivery services at this time, we hope to resume within the next 5-7 weeks.
