Giving Back with Style: Join Michigan’s Largest Housewarming Party

Hello, Michigan! Have you ever wondered what happens to all that gently used furniture you no longer need? You know, the pieces that are just taking up valuable space in your home? Well, here’s some fantastic news! Gorman’s Home Furnishings and Interior Design is back with their second annual Michigan’s Largest Housewarming Party drive, and it’s your chance to make a difference.

Making a Difference in Metro Detroit

From now until February 25, Gorman’s is collecting gently used furniture and new, unused household items to support families in need across the Metro Detroit area. Every donation helps to make a house feel like a home for those trying to get back on their feet. The donations will benefit several organizations, including the Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit, Habitat Oakland ReStore, and Humble Design Detroit, all of which play vital roles in our community.

How to Get Involved

If you have furniture or household essentials that could use a new home, Gorman’s makes it easy to donate. Every Tuesday until late February, they are offering free furniture pickups, but make sure you pre-schedule your appointment beforehand. To arrange a pickup, simply call or visit one of their showrooms located in Novi, Southfield, or Troy. They’ll gladly help you select a date and time for your contribution.

Your Donations Matter: What to Give

So, what kinds of items are they looking for? They’re particularly in need of smaller-scale furniture, such as:

• Sofas
• Chairs
• Kitchen tables
• Dressers
• Bed frames
• Bookshelves
• Coffee and end tables

But wait, there’s more! Gorman’s isn’t just about furniture; they are also accepting new, unused household essentials. This includes:

• Dish towels
• Oven mitts
• Small kitchen tools and appliances
• Measuring cups
• Bath towels
• And so much more!

Do keep in mind that all donated items should be free of rips, tears, and stains, so check those couches and dressers carefully before you drop them off!
