Donate Goods
HGRM always needs donations of clean, usable furniture and household items for individuals and families in need. As we provide more than 300 households with essential household items each month, a steady stream of donated goods is crucial to our mission.
When considering what to donate, please remember that our clients are often coming out of hard times. Items should be currently serviceable and in a gently used condition that you yourself would use if they were not excess. We do not accept clothing or food. In general, we need household items that can be used by a family living in a small apartment.
Some of our most needed items include the following:
Furniture: Metal bedframes, Mattresses & Box springs; Dressers & Bureaus; Night Stands; Kitchen & Dining Room Tables & Chairs; Sofas, Loveseats, Sofabeds & Recliners; Coffee & End Tables.
Kitchenware: Dishes, Glassware, Pots and Pans, Flatware, Cooking Utensils, Baking Pans & Casserole Dishes, Toasters & Toaster Ovens, Coffee Makers, Mixers, Blenders, and Countertop Microwave Ovens.

Donation Pick-Up (for furniture and large appliances)
If you need to schedule a pick-up, you must have at least one essential furniture or large appliance item. For pickups, essential items are defined as mattresses & boxsprings, metal bedframes, dressers and bureaus, kitchen/dining tables, sofas, and large appliances that are 10yrs or newer (washers, dryers, refrigerators). We are asking for a minimum $25 donation for our limited pickup service (this covers our gas and insurance for our truck, as we do not charge our clients nor social service agencies). We do not ask for a donation for pickups of twin, full or queen mattresses or sets if that is the only pickup item.
We pick up furniture and large appliances in Acton, Boxborough, Carlisle, Concord, Littleton, Maynard, Stow, Sudbury and Westford. We also pickup full households in and outside of this area.
Please note that we have recently added pickup service in Lincoln and Lexington monthly. We are asking for a minimum $35 donation for pickup in these towns.
We schedule pickups on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings from 9am - noon. If you are outside of these areas or unable to schedule a pickup, please consider dropping items off to our warehouse, requesting our list of local private movers, or donating to another organization.
