What We Accept & Don't
Help us provide the basic home essentials to community members in need. Items that no longer have meaning to you can mean the world to a child, family, or individual in need.
theExchange is a leader in REUSE –
we aim to save gently loved couches, tables, chairs, and other useful home goods from the landfill! Donations come from personal residences, furniture companies, hotels, hospitals, and the community.
