Household Goods Recycling of Massachusetts (HGRM) is an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization based in Acton, MA that provides household goods, free of charge, to people in need. We accept donations of gently used household items that will help people make a home. Our 250 volunteers receive, sort and distribute items to individuals and families from over 40 communities in eastern Massachusetts. As an organization staffed by volunteers, we depend on the generosity of community members for goods, time and financial support. Please consider supporting us so that we can continue to achieve our mission.
Furnishing Options provides individuals and families with low income and others such as persons recovering from mental illness the necessary items to enhance the place they call home.
Providing $1million in value of free furniture, home, clothing and baby goods so that 27,000 needy people per year are better housed in the Merrimack Valley, MA. Every $1 donated is leveraged into $4 in value of free goods given and 2/3 are children. And every couch and lamp recycled means one less in the landfill.
