Off The Floor Pittsburgh

Off the Floor Pittsburgh is a local non-profit which, since 2004, has provided basic used furniture like beds, dressers, tables, and chairs to disadvantaged families who lack these items. To meet our goals in 2019, we will need a continuous stream of gently used furniture donations, as well as volunteers to serve on teams to pick up and deliver the furniture. Monetary contributions help to cover costs of storage and gas for our truck. We are looking for either individuals or a team of volunteers willing to assist with furniture deliveries and pickups.

Since 2004, Off The Floor Pittsburgh has provided basic used furniture like beds, dressers, tables, and chairs to disadvantaged families who lack these items. The mission of Off the Floor Pittsburgh is to strengthen families and to reduce the pain and indignity of extreme poverty in the greater Pittsburgh region by recycling used furniture in good condition and delivering it free of charge to families in deepest need. In August of 2004, a Pittsburgh resident felt called to stop her car and offer help to a woman with two young daughters who were living in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Pittsburgh.

In August of 2004, a Pittsburgh resident felt called to stop her car and offer help to a woman with two young daughters who were living in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. She discovered that the family had no beds, tables, or chairs. Working with volunteers from her local church, they were able to locate and deliver the furniture the family needed. Soon they discovered that nearly every family on the block was in the same dire straits; the volunteers realized they had been awakened to an ongoing need.
