Shop at Again & Again, our furniture and decor thrift social enterprise.
Home Again works with 34 partner agencies and organizations who refer their clients. All of our referring partners are listed here.
Furniture banks are registered charities, not-for-profit organizations or social enterprises designed to provide gently-used household furnishings to individuals and families in need, at little or no cost.
The movement, which originated in the United States, is now firmly established and continuing to gain momentum in Canada. The basic model involves gently used furniture being donated by people who no longer use it, and transferred to those who are struggling financially to furnish their own homes.
Furniture banks provide some of the most vulnerable citizens the means to create a true home.
Please note that due to COVID-19 we have had to make adjustments to maintain the safety of everyone involved, please contact us for more information.
To donate your used furniture, please fill out the furniture donation form. We will reply as soon as possible. If we can accept your offer, you will be added to our list for a pick-up. Please note our office hours are Monday-Thursday 10am-2pm. We can also be reached at info@homeagainfb.com or (709) 325-4040.
We try to arrange for pick-ups within a week. How soon we can pick-up your items depends on your location, what you are offering, and current demands on our volunteer movers.
As the Home Again warehouse is not staffed, dropping off furniture donations is not possible. All furniture donors must schedule a pick-up with our team. Home Again is also happy to offer a small satellite drop-off location at Robin Hood Bay’s residential drop-off site.
Schedule a pick-up.

There is a $25 fee for picking up furniture. This fee helps offset the cost of transporting the furniture and is considered part of your fulsome donation. For this reason, we can offer a tax-receipt.
Home Again offers tax receipts for your $25 pick-up, and for any additional financial contributions above $20. If you require a tax receipt for your furniture, please request this while scheduling your pick-up.
