Habitat for Humanity Restoration
Habitat ReStore offers free furniture pickup in the Greater Toronto Area for larger, multi-item donations. They accept a wide range of items including home furnishings, appliances, kitchen and bath fixtures, and building materials. Donated items are sold at their ReStore locations to support Habitat for Humanity’s affordable housing projects.
The army is over
The Salvation Army offers free furniture moving if you have 3 or more items to donate in Toronto. They accept items such as tables, sofas, shelving units, and worktops. The donated furniture is then sold at their thrift stores to fund their charitable programs.
Furniture bank
Furniture Bank offers furniture removal in Toronto for a fee that starts at $150 and varies depending on the size, number of items, and your location. It focuses on basic home furniture that families in need can reuse, such as chairs, tables, dressers and small appliances. Pickup fees directly support the Furniture Bank’s charitable mission of providing furniture to those transitioning from homelessness or displacement.
Here are some of the key differences between organizations:
Habitat ReStore and the Salvation Army both offer free pickup services, while the Furniture Bank charges a fee
Furniture Bank focuses more on basic home furnishings, while ReStore and Salvation Army accept a wider range of items
Items donated to the Furniture Bank go directly to families in need, while the ReStore and Salvation Army sell donations to support their programs.
Ultimately, all three provide a convenient way to donate furniture in Toronto while supporting charitable causes and diverting items from landfills. The best option depends on the type of items you’re donating and your personal preferences for how donations will be used.
