Donating Money
Neighbor to Neighbor is a volunteer-operated project under the Center for Transformative Action. All donations help support our mission.
Donating Furniture
Furniture makes a dwelling into a home. We will pick up your gently-used furniture at no cost. We are always grateful for the generous donations of home furnishings offered by our community.
We currently accept beds, dressers, dining sets, living room chairs, couches, and tables, and furniture must be in good, to excellent condition. We do not accept broken or unusable items.
To donate, please first read our donation policies below.

Donation Policies
- We believe that the clients we serve should be treated with dignity and respect, and we want the items we share with them to reflect that value. Therefore, we ask that you only offer items that are truly in good-to-excellent condition. We will not accept items that are noticeably stained, broken in any way, covered in rust or mold, have strong odors, or have been damaged by pets (including being covered in pet hair), especially mattresses. Mattresses must have no history of infestation by bedbugs, and lice must not be present in the household at the time of donation of beds, couches, love seats, or armchairs.
- We accept donations of bed sets, dressers, living room furniture (couches, chairs, and end tables), and dining sets. These are the items our clients request the most. We DO NOT accept clothes, hangers, appliances, electronics, music, videos, books/magazines, decorations, artwork, kitchenware, food, chemicals, weapons, tools, machinery, or building materials.
- We believe that it is important that donors feel rewarded by their generosity. In that vein, we are always ready to provide donors with a tax receipt listing items donated. If you don't get one before our volunteers leave your home, please let them know you would like one and someone will get it from the truck for you. If you'd prefer, we can email one to you.
We reserve the right to not accept furniture.
We also accept donations of gifts-in-kind of your time and skills. If you'd like to offer your time and service to N2N, please contact director@n2ntompkins.org
