Make It Home furnishes homes of those in need with donated furniture and household goods. Serves 7 Bay Area counties. Home furnishings accepted. Read through guidelines, submit online form to get an appointment for donation drop-off. We require that gently-used furniture is just that: clean, functioning, free of odors, and not in need of repair.
