About Furniture Bank
Lots of people have usable furniture they don’t want anymore.
Lots of other people need furniture but can’t afford it.
Furniture Bank helps both!
How it works
Have Furniture to Donate?
1. Call 705-410-3391 or click the button below to get a furniture removal quote. The pickup fee will be based on volume and distance from the center of the city.
2. Our partners at Furniture Bank Toronto will take down the details of your donation and provide a quote for the removal service. If you decide to proceed, they will share your contact information with our logistics partner Jeff’s Junk who schedule a pickup and deliver your donation to our warehouse in Barrie.
3. Redwood will issue you an in-kind charitable donation tax receipt based on the value of your furniture that you can use against this year’s income tax return.
Serving: Collingwood, Clearview, Wasaga, Springwater, Tiny, Tay, Midland, Essa, Penetanguishene, Severn, Ramara, Oro-Medonte, Barrie, Innisfil, Bradford, West Gwillimbury, and New Tecumseth!
Need Furniture?
1. Redwood clients, and those of our 45 current partner agencies across Simcoe County, will be able to access furniture through a referral to our Furniture Bank.
2. An appointment will be made with our staff for the client to choose their furniture from the available inventory.
3. Furniture will be curated, packaged, and delivered to clients based on household size for a nominal fee.

Become a Monthly Patron of the Furniture Bank
After five years of running the Furniture Bank and serving over 700 households, we know two important things:
- Whether it is a family of newcomers to Canada, a person leaving the shelter and setting up their new home, or a mom and her children starting over, our Furniture Bank clients appreciate the opportunity to furnish their homes in a dignified way, and are proud to contribute to that cost.
- Furniture Bank clients can’t afford the full cost of curating and delivering the furniture they have chosen for their new home.
Our fundraising goal for 2024 is $100,000.
Each dollar donated by Furniture Bank Patrons will go directly to getting furniture to a neighbour who needs it. Each month. That’s a very tangible way to have a positive impact on our community, so we encourage you to become a Partner in Hope Through Housing today!
Thank you!
