Donating Items
We pickup for free in Worcester County.
You can donate by calling 774-243-3821 and leaving a voicemail, or emailing dch@cmhaonline.org. Please provide the following information in your message:
Name
Telephone number
Email address
Reason for call
If looking to donate, leave the pickup location and a list of items with photos you wish to donate
All items are taken on an as-needed basis, and only if they are in very good, clean, reusable condition, as we do not have the ability to repair, clean or dispose of items. Items need to be first floor level or placed outside or in a garage.
The DCH reserves the right to NOT accept torn, soiled, structurally damaged, or otherwise unusable items. Final decisions will be made at the time of pickup.
Your furniture donation and monetary contributions (excluding service fees, if applicable) are tax deductible. While a receipt listing the items donated will be provided at the time of pickup, it is up to you and your tax professional to determine the value of your donation.

We generally do pickups on Monday, Tuesday and Friday.
If you have questions, please reach out to us at 774-243-3821 or dch@cmhaonline.org.
