Household Goods, Inc.

Securing an empty apartment after spending months or even years in a noisy shelter is a huge step, but empty rooms leave many feeling anxious, isolated and alone.  Thinking about how to fill them can be overwhelming. That's where Household Goods comes in. We provide a full range of donated furniture and household essentials, all in one place and free of charge, to help individuals and families create a home that is their own-  a place that feels welcoming, stable and safe after so much hardship and uncertainty. Your support helps us to provide these vital services to families in need and helps them take a step towards stability. Your gift will reach people with the greatest need and the fewest resources and help them turn empty  apartments into real homes.  To donate,  visit: Please take another step towards helping by spreading the word: like and share this post.  Thank you! #furniturebank #supportHouseholdGoods #helpingfamilies #supportfamilies

Our volunteers had some fun posing to share some important Household Goods messages: we need donations to help people in need make a home! We are especially in need of small household items: dish sets (no chips), baking dishes, pots/pans, flatware sets and sets of drinking glasses (no stemware please). Can you help? Donations are accepted Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9 to noon at our center, 530 Main Street, Acton, MA.

We're looking for volunteers! Household Goods has many volunteer shifts but especially needs help on Saturdays.

Start by registering for our next New Volunteer Orientation, held at 530 Main Street in Acton on Saturday, January 6 at 10 AM. You’ll take a tour and learn about different volunteer opportunities and how to becomce a volunteer.
