How Can I Become A Supporting Partner?

As a Foundation or Monetary Donor

Beyond our ongoing need for furniture to provide to those in need, the Cleveland Furniture Bank also needs your donation of time (volunteers to help process the goods received and help the clients who are referred to the Bank) and money to help keep the cost to the participating social service agencies at a reasonable level. If you or your organization wish to financially support or become involved with the Cleveland Furniture Bank, contact Tom Gaghan at 216-459-2265.

As A Furniture Donor:

Furniture retailers serving Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga, Summit, Medina and Lorain counties can help the Cleveland Furniture Bank make our mission known to customers that might have furniture they want to donate. By providing customers with a handout card about the Furniture Bank, retailers are offering a service to their customers and helping them dispose of furniture they are replacing and receive a tax deduction at the same time.

In addition, retailers that have scratch and dent furniture, returned furniture, floor samples or gently used mattresses they need to dispose of are encouraged to donate these items to the Furniture Bank.

As a Hotel/Motel:

Hotels/motels update or upgrade their furniture and mattresses on a regular basis. When such upgrades take place, a hotel/motel can serve the needy of the community they do business in by donating the items being replaced to the Cleveland Furniture Bank.

The Furniture Bank accepts gently used mattresses and box springs, dining room tables and chairs, couches and easy chairs, desks and linens.

The Cleveland Furniture Bank is a member of the Ohio Hotel and Lodging Association (OHLA).

As a Realtor:

Realtors are touching the lives of thousands of people each year that are selling their homes. Many of these people have excess furniture they do not want to move or they just need to reduce the amount of furniture in their home to make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Realtors can offer their clients a free service to help them make the selling process go smoother. The clients can achieve their goal and receive a tax deduction for the items they donate. Everything donated goes to help the needy of Northeast Ohio.

The Cleveland Furniture Bank is an allied member of the Cleveland Area Board of Realtors (CABOR).
