HOLIDAY CLOSURE:  We will be closed 11/24 & 11/25 in observation of Thanksgiving.  We will be open 9am-12pm on Saturday, 11/26.

YOU can help the Sharehouse turn housing into homes!

To donate furniture & household items, please:

  • Review our lists below of what we can & cannot accept
  • Drop donations off to our warehouse on Monday/Wednesday/Friday (9am - 4pm) OR Saturday (9am - noon)
  • Schedule our truck to pick-up if you are in Seattle, Shoreline, or Mercer Island

It costs us approximately $75 for each pick-up we do in the community. To offset our costs, we do require a monetary donation. You may self-select from a sliding scale starting at $25 (less than a trip to the dump & your still-useful stuff isn’t going into a landfill!). Call for more info & to schedule as far in advance as possible (we typically need at least 2 weeks notice).
