Thank you for helping Home of Our Own provide Howard County residents with needed furniture and household items at no cost to them.
We focus on basic essentials that our clients need to make functional, comfortable homes. We accept only ready-to-use items that are free of rips, tears, or stains - items that we'd be proud to have in our own homes. Our goal is to help our clients start anew with dignity, hope and their own welcoming homes.
Please refer to our Current Needs below for items needed to replenish our inventory, as well as our donation criteria.
If you have household goods or furniture to donate, please send us an email at donate@homeofourownhoward.org.
Please include your name, email address, phone number, address, a list of the items you plan to donate. Please include photos of any furniture and lamps.
We are 100% volunteer staffed, so it may be two-to-three days before you hear back from us. We pick up all donations within Howard County generally within one to two weeks. We do not have a staffed donation drop-off site at this time.
