Fresh Start Furniture Bank Seeks Donated Items and Volunteers
HUDSON: Fresh Start Furniture Bank is seeking donations of your gently used furniture, household goods and linens. Are you moving or downsizing? If you've been cleaning out your home or the home of a loved one and are looking for a good home for things you no longer need, please consider donating your items to us! Your donations help those in need.
Fresh Start is a volunteer-run, non-profit in Hudson that provides furniture, linens and housewares free of charge to qualified Massachusetts residents in need, as they transition to new housing. They provide almost everything they need in one trip, thanks to your donations. They typically help 10-15 families per week and need your donations to keep up their stock.
In addition, they maintain an Amazon wish list for anyone interested in buying new items to help the cause. Items accepted are in good, clean condition only. All donations are tax deductible.
Please visit www.freshstartfurniturebank.org for a list of items they accept, or find them on Facebook for their latest needs. Additionally, they would be grateful for new packing materials (bubble wrap, etc.) or cash donations to help offset operating costs. Businesses take note: we can put those boxes that reams of copy paper come in to good use!
Household goods and linens can be dropped off at 16 Brent Drive in Hudson during business hours only: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am-12pm, and Saturdays from 8:30am-12:30pm. Furniture donations are accepted on Saturday mornings from 8:30-10:30am, no appointment necessary. Limited pick-ups can be arranged for larger donations.
Volunteers are always needed to load, unload, sort, clean, stock and distribute items. If you can help out for as little as three hours a month, please call (508) 485-2080, or through the website contact form. Teens welcome!
