Join the Movement: Gorman’s Home Furnishings’ Housewarming Party

Attention all home improvement enthusiasts and generous hearts! The spirit of giving is alive and well this season as Gorman’s Home Furnishings and Interior Design kicks off its second annual ‘Michigan’s Largest Housewarming Party’. This incredible drive is on a mission to collect gently used furniture and shiny new household items for families in need across the Metro Detroit area. There’s never been a better time to put those extra items to good use and lend a helping hand!

Support Your Community with a Simple Donation

It’s easy to make a difference! By donating those items you no longer use, you can help support local charities like the Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit, Habitat Oakland ReStore, and Humble Design Detroit. Your contributions will help families create a cozy and functional home, making a huge difference in their lives. Plus, isn’t it time for a little spring cleaning, even if spring is still a few weeks away? Giving back has never been easier or more straightforward.

Easy Pick-Up Services

Thinking about donating larger items like sofas or dressers? Well, Gorman’s has made the process super convenient. They’re offering free furniture pickups every Tuesday until February 25. This means you can declutter your space without the hassle. Just remember, you will need to pre-schedule this service! It’s simple: just call or visit one of Gorman’s showrooms located in Novi, Southfield, or Troy to set up your donation appointment. Trust us, it couldn’t be simpler!

What to Donate

When it comes to donations, Gorman’s is very welcoming! They are particularly interested in various furniture pieces that can easily find a new home. Consider donating:

• Sofas
• Chairs
• Kitchen tables
• Dressers
• Bed frames
• Bookshelves
• Coffee/end tables

While all furniture is appreciated, smaller scale items are especially needed, so keep that in mind as you sift through your belongings. Just make sure that the items you donate are in good shape, free from rips, tears, and stains! Every piece matters as it finds its way to a deserving family.

Household Essentials Needed

In addition to furniture, Gorman’s is also accepting new, unused household items. Think about those essentials that can make any house feel more like a home. Here’s what you can contribute:

• Dish towels
• Oven mitts
• Small kitchen tools and appliances
• Measuring cups
• Bath towels
• Other miscellaneous household items

You can drop off donations at any Gorman’s showroom, their warehouse, or the Three-Day Clearance Center in Farmington Hills during regular business hours. Just think how rewarding it would feel to clean out your closet and help a family in need at the same time!

Exciting Local Happenings

Aside from the housewarming drive, February is buzzing with local events! For book lovers, the Bennett Civic Center Library in Livonia will host a used book sale from February 7-9, but there’s an exclusive pre-sale for members on February 6. Searching for a romantic evening? Ford House is debuting a special music series, ‘Cabaret Over the Cove’, with a Valentine’s dinner on February 14—what a delightful way to celebrate love!

If you’re interested in home renovations, Dzinly is currently working on a home in Madison Heights and allowing residents to vote on the design choices for the exterior. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the design process!
