In the first place, inquire with the local charity. There are several charitable organizations, such the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Bloomington, Illinois, that gladly take donations of furniture and even offer to come pick it up from your house. If you want to ensure that your furniture will be donated to a worthy organization, this is an excellent choice to make.
You have the option to sell your furnishings. This can be done via consignment stores, or the internet. You will likely make more money selling your furniture than donating it. You should also keep in mind that finding potential buyers may take some time.
You might also be open to giving your furniture away. You can do this by posting signs in your local area or placing online ads. Another great option for finding people or communities in search of furniture donations is Freecycle.
Don't forget to ask your friends and family for suggestions on where to place your furniture. You may be able to find recommendations from family, friends, or neighbors for places that accept donations. These guidelines should help you to (updated post) find a place that accepts donations and is trustworthy.
