Every day The Basics for Phoenix phone line gets calls from social workers, school counselors, church leaders, and other community advocates asking for furniture pieces and help to get struggling children, young adults and families out of difficult situations.


Many people are cut off and isolated from their family, friends and support systems. Specially in these times of illness, uncertainty and difficulty. Some may require a bed and a few furniture pieces. Someone may be struggling to make ends meet and needs the attire and haircut for a better job or the parent taking their children out of a toxic home. Whatever the need, The Basics for Phoenix assesses the need and supports the needs of our community. Response to each situation is always unique, since each person’s story and struggles are always unique.


Are you interested in supporting us as we work to help those in need? Supporting The Basics for Phoenix gives you an opportunity to help both the underprivileged in our community and the environment. There are several ways you can help The Basics for Phoenix provide furniture and a hand when times get hard on a fellow neighbor.


Every Phoenix citizen has the potential to become a productive member of society. Would you be interested in helping us support Phoenix residents in need?


Whether it’s through donating used furniture pieces, making a tax-deductible cash donation, or volunteering to help us pick up donated furniture pieces and deliver them to underprivileged Phoenix residents, we would love to have you as a part of The Basics for Phoenix team. 


Thank You

Every bit of help we get from our partners puts us one step closer to helping struggling Phoenix children and families have what they need to live life with their basic needs met. We appreciate that and so do our recipients.

Donate Furniture

Do you have unwanted furniture you would like to donate? We accept furniture that is new or gently used and clean. 


Donating furniture to The Basics For Phoenix is a great way to upcycle furniture you no longer need and make an impact for good at the same time. There are many Phoenix children and families who are living without basic necessities such as beds, dining tables, and sofas.


With your donated furniture pieces we have the ability to help struggling children, young adults aging out of the foster care system, the forgotten elderly and impoverished families live in a comfortable, secure environment where their basic needs are met. Having a bed to sleep on, a sofa to relax on, and a dining table to eat at helps bring a sense of belonging and security to our underprivileged Phoenix residents. 


We have furniture pick up service available, contact us at 602-527-5734 or see our step by step guide on how to get your donations picked up.


Below is a comprehensive list of items that The Basics for Phoenix accepts. All donated beds and furniture items must be in new or gently used condition, so our families can receive decent usable items. Please NO peelings, stains, odors, rips or pet hair on furniture.


The Basics for Phoenix picks up from most of the greater Phoenix Metropolitan area.
