Our Services

Homewares

Help us divert waste, one item at a time

We believe the things that make a house a home, furniture, appliances, kitchenware, and décor, can still have value long after their first use. By donating your clean, quality homewares, you directly support our mission to reduce landfill waste while providing training and employment pathways for people with intellectual disabilities.

Each donation is carefully checked, cleaned, and priced for resale in our reuse shop. This keeps useful items in circulation and helps us track how much weight we divert from landfill each month. If you’re unsure whether we can accept something, send us a quick photo; we’ll gladly help before you load up.

Whether you’re downsizing, redecorating, or clearing some space, your donation helps build a circular future, one plate, chair, or lamp at a time.
