We are only able to accept essential items needed by our clients to set up a comfortable and safe home. Please do not drop off furniture without an appointment. Make arrangements by sending an email to furniture@safetynetservices.ca Acceptance Process To arrange for the Furniture Program team to pick up your donation, please email furniture@safetynetservices.ca with the following information: Your name, phone, address of the pickup, availability for pickup Photos of all items We will contact you to either arrange a visit or the pickup. All furniture must be accepted by staff either at pick up or drop off. For pick up, pictures are required, and we may need to visit to examine the items. Higher value items such as couches, table and chairs, microwave, drawers in excellent condition will be provided with a donation in kind receipt upon request. To manage inventory, furniture that has not been acquired by families may be sold for fundraising purposes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3728b3db24c44f36425e7/1623869105833-H9G8W03GWTDDSXYVB5BZ/Furniture+Yes.png Donate Items - Items We Accept Furniture we can accept includes: couches and chairs tables (dining, coffee, bedside) dining chair SETS (not individual) dressers shelving units lamps (table and floor) office chairs bar fridges small desks rugs in clean, 'like new' condition fans and window air conditioners (as requested) Pickup Fees All furniture is provided free to marginalized or displaced families. In order to help offset the cost of picking up and storing furniture items, we request a fee of $50 for pickups within Oakville or Burlington, $75 in Mississauga, Milton. We prefer the items are ready and outside the pickup location, or at least very easily accessible on the same floor as the entrance. This service does not include taking apart or otherwise preparing items - they must be empty and ready to transport - and does not include stairs, or tight spaces for any larger items. If extra time is required, or the furniture needs to be carried up or down stairs, an additional $50 charge is applied. We happily pick up clothing and kitchen items during the furniture pickup. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60c3728b3db24c44f36425e7/1623869149535-IUQBOL7JYDCCVCOR2T8K/Furniture+No.png Donate Items - Items We do NOT Accept We do NOT accept the following items because they are either not essential or in demand, or not a service we cover.
