How do I get rid of excess furniture?

Thanks for your question. You didn't mention where you were moving to, so I will assume you are moving from the New York area. Many shelters throughout New York City provide service to victims of violence and abuse, the homeless and the mentally or physically ill rely on furniture donations. Contact shelters in your area through the yellow pages or by contacting the United Way.

Other places to donate furniture include:

• The Salvation Army
• Goodwill Industries
• Society of Saint Vincent de Paul
• Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA)
• Churches often have outreach programs in need of furniture to give to families in their community.

Thank you for your question and good luck!
