Free Furniture and Other Things

Refugees from Ukraine who have recently arrived in a new country may need help finding free furniture and other things. There are multiple online sites that are constantly giving away free, or offering deeply discounted stuff that can be helpful for refugees.

Freecycle is a website and app that connects people who have free items to people who need them. You can search for free furniture and other items in your area by entering your zip code. This is a great resource for refugees who are looking for basic furniture items, such as beds, tables, and chairs.

Buy Nothing connects people who are giving away free items with people who need them. To join the group, you must have a Facebook account. This is a good option for refugees who are looking for specific items, such as a crib for a baby or a desk for a child.

NextDoor is a social networking app that allows you to connect with people in your neighborhood. You can search for free furniture and other items on NextDoor by entering your zip code. This is a good way for refugees to connect with their new community and find items that they need.

KindWorks is a non-profit organization that helps connect refugees with resources, including furniture and other household items. You can contact KindWorks to see if they have any resources available in your area.

In addition to these online resources, you may also want to check with your local refugee resettlement agency or community center. They may have a list of furniture and other resources that are available to refugees.
