Arrange Delivery

The Furniture Project offers limited pickup service for qualifying donations throughout the Omaha metro area. Because capacity is limited, we prioritize requests that include essential items such as beds, small dining tables, and dressers. Pickup availability is also based on location and staff capacity, so wait times may vary. Items must be placed in a garage, curbside, or another easily accessible location on the day of pickup.
