Donate Items

Heading Home's clients depend on the support of the many people who generously donate new or gently used items.  If you are interested in donating goods, please review our attached donation item list. If you have questions regarding donations, please contact us at 617-864-8140 or e-mail info@headinghomeinc.org.

DONATION GUIDELINES:

  • All items being donated must be either NEW or "GENTLY USED." (This means all previously used items must be clean and in good condition) Please make sure that all clothing and fabric items are clean and do not have any stains; we cannot accept them otherwise.
  • If you are donating furniture, please e-mail a picture to info@headinghomeinc.corg, so that we can assess whether or not this is an item we can use.
  • Heading Home does not have an in-house furniture pick up, so donations must be dropped off at our administrative offices in Cambridge, or if you are unable to do so we must charge a $25 pick up fee. This fee will help offset the cost to Heading Home to hire an outside service to pick up and deliver the furniture, (NOTE: We require at least 2 weeks notice for pick up service).
  • Heading Home reserves the right to decline donations if we are unable to schedule a pick up or do not have an immediate need.

WAYS TO DONATE:
