Used Furniture Removal Service Helps Those in Need, Reduces Waste Management Costs
Published August 11, 2008
Resorts can eliminate waste management costs by donating used furnishings to the National Furniture Bank Association, a nonprofit that gives all donations to individuals and families in need. NFBA arranges for items to be picked up, and donors get an IRS(c)(3) sanctioned tax deduction.
Help1Up, facilitated by NFBA collects furniture from industry and the general public, then gives it directly to children and families in need. Mothers and kids escaping domestic violence, victims of natural disasters, and working families living below the poverty line are typical recipients of the donated items.
With a mission to open new furniture banks and to expand the service capacity of existing furniture banks, the NFBA is the non-profit association of furniture banks. Furniture banks in America serve over 125,000 families by providing more than one million home furnishings items. Members of the organization believe that no child in America should have to sleep on the floor, and that together we can all make a difference.
Help1Up is the “Charity of Choice” of the National Home Furnishing Association (NHFA), and is endorsed by AHFA - American Home Furnishings Alliance; AH&LA - American Hotel & Lodging Association; BIFMA - Business and Institutional Furniture Manufacturer’s Association International; CFMA - California Furniture Manufacturers Association; FAI - Futon Association International; HFIA - Home Furnishings Independents Association; IDS - Interior Design Society; IHFRA - International Home Furnishings Representatives Association; NARDA - North American Retail Dealers Association; UFA - Unfinished Furniture Association; WHFA - Western Home Furnishings Association; and WithIt - Women in the Home Industries Today.
