Most of our guests are arriving in Canada with little more than the clothes on their back. When it comes to outfitting their first apartment, they have many basic needs. If you have furniture, linens, kitchen items or any other basic pieces for furnishing an apartment, we would love to hear from you.

We have developed a furniture donation registry to track all items being offered. With the registry we will know what is available to our guests when they are ready to move into their first apartment. We cannot predict exactly when our guests will need these items and we do not store or collect items. If you have something that you are able to offer, please let us know and tell us how long you are willing to hold onto the item(s). We will keep you posted about when it is needed and where it can be delivered — usually directly to a guest's new apartment.

Transportation of large items can be a challenge for both potential donors and Micah House guests. Therefore, we are always on the lookout for volunteers with trucks, vans or trailers who are able to pick up and deliver furniture to a guest's new apartment.

From time to time we will note specific needs on this page, so please check back frequently.

These are the items that we typically need:

• Blankets, pillows (new) and comforters - URGENT NEED
• Kitchen tables and chairs
• Lamps
• Pots and pans
• Dishes, utensils and cutlery
• Towels and other linens - URGENT NEED
• Computers that are not dated and will work for the internet
• Televisions - not black-and-white

Please remember that we need items that people would be proud to have in their homes. Damaged, dirty or stained items are not appropriate. If you are unsure, ask yourself, "Would I want this in my home?"

A BIG thank you to the many who have sought out this page and filled parts of this list! 

Please note that the above urgent needs are still our reality, so if you can help with those items in particular we would be most grateful.
