The more furniture donations we get, the more homes we can furnish and lives we can empower!

We take great pride in the fact that we will come into your home and pick-up your donation of furniture, household items, appliances, clothing, linens and books for a nominal fee.. This helps cover a portion of gas and operational expenses. You also will receive a tax-deductible form listing all the donated items.

Every year we distribute thousands of furniture items to local households, and we reduce landfill space by millions of pounds. Recycle your gently used furniture and other items that you no longer need or use and help someone in need. If you do not have furniture to donate, please consider a financial donation to allow us to continue our mission of helping those in need in Northeast Ohio.

Pick-up, credit, and receipt policies & tax information

• You do not have to be home for your pick-up appointment. Items may be left on the porch or in the garage. The items should be clearly marked for the Cleveland Furniture Bank to ensure the pick-up team takes all items you want to donate.
• If the pick-up team will have to go up or down stairs inside the house to remove donated items, you must notify us at the time the pick-up is scheduled. You will be asked to sign a Damage Waiver at the time of the pick-up.
• CLEVELAND FURNITURE BANK IS A 501 ( C ) 3 ORGANIZATION and you may claim a tax deduction for donated items. We cannot offer you tax advice but you should be aware of the following:
  • RECEIPTS: You will receive a donation receipt listing all the items accepted by our organization if you drop off items or have us pick them up. You can use this receipt for your tax records.
  • VALUATION GUIDE: Cleveland Furniture Bank does not provide you with the value of your donation. You must determine the value yourself particularly when you are taking a tax deduction. Many online tax services provide some guidelines for how much may be deducted per item.
  • DEDUCTION LIMITS: If you are claiming a noncash deduction of more than $500, you must fill out a Form 8283. If you claim a deduction for a contribution of a noncash property worth more than $5000, you will need a qualified appraisal of the noncash property and must fill out Form 8283, Section B.
