Are there any charities that accept large appliances as donations?

What charities accept (& will pick up) furniture donations?

• Does anybody know what charities in the Philadelphia area accept furniture donations? I'm looking for a charity that would be able to pick up the furniture. Tax-deductible is a plus, as is a charity that would be able to pick up the furniture w/ relatively short notice. Thanks so much to anybody w/ info!

• Answer:

  I do not know Philadelphia area, but in other communities Goodwill is always a good bet. Salvation Army often has a thrift store. Many communities have Habitat for the Homeless, which builds homes for them, but then what furniture is to go into those homes? Well perhaps if they are building some new homes in your area, they might want to have a volunteer inspect your donation to see if it is suitable to go in one of those homes. Many charities have retail stores, but not in all communites. Look up in yellow pages for SOCIAL & HUMAN SERVICES for places like The Red Cross, then see which of them have local stores selling second hand furniture many of them will do pick ups
