A Community Initiative by Nilson Homes
The Nilson Foundation — Helping turn houses into homes
Our Mission
Our mission is to help local families create a place to call home by providing furniture, household essentials, and support when they need it most — through donations from the community.
Giving hope. Building community. One home at a time.
✓ 501(c)(3) Nonprofit — donations are tax-deductible“Because everyone deserves
a place to call home.”
Donate Items
We collect gently used furniture and household essentials and place them directly into local homes. Here’s what we can — and can’t — accept:
🛋️Furniture
- ✓Bed frames
- ✓Gently used mattresses (no major stains or damage)
- ✓Dressers & nightstands
- ✓Couches & sofas
- ✓End tables & coffee tables
- ✓Kitchen tables & chairs
🍽️Household Items
- ✓Coffee makers, blenders & toasters
- ✓Silverware & dining ware
- ✓Food-storage containers
- ✓Bath & kitchen towels
- ✓Gently used clothing
🚫We Can’t Accept
- ✕Washers & dryers
- ✕Oversized furniture (large media cabinets, oversized sectionals)
Oversized pieces simply don’t fit in most of the homes we help furnish — donating them elsewhere keeps them out of storage and in use.
Ready to donate? Start here.
Our short donation form takes a couple of minutes. Photos of your items and a quick description are the most important part — they let us confirm right away whether we can put them to use. Receipts provided.
💚 Give Financially
Monetary gifts help us cover the things donations can’t — mattresses, linens, transportation, and starter kits. Online giving (including recurring gifts) is coming soon; in the meantime, reach out and we’ll make it easy.
Contact Us to Give🤝 Donate Services
Trucks, storage, moving muscle, repair skills, or professional services — in-kind support moves families into homes just as surely as furniture does.
Offer a ServiceCurrent Needs
No urgent item needs right now — but donations are always welcome. Every gently used piece finds a home.
Need Help Furnishing a Home?
Moving into a new place with empty rooms is hard — and asking for help can feel even harder. It shouldn’t. If you or your family need furniture or household essentials, we would be honored to help.
There’s no application to qualify for and no wrong way to ask. Just tell us a little about your situation — who’s in your household, where you’re moving, and what you need most.
Caseworkers, schools, churches, and community organizations: you’re welcome to reach out on behalf of a family you’re working with. Everything you share with us stays private.
Become a Sponsor
Local businesses make this work possible. Sponsor a home, a donation drive, or an ongoing need — and show your community what your company stands for. We’ll work with you to build a partnership that fits.
