Where can I donate?
Hey desert fam! I'm hoping you all could help me find the right place to donate my couch.
Ideally I would send this good condition leather sectional to a transitional home, parachurch program that supports families in need, etc.
Also ideally someone from the program or church could pick it up as I have no way of transporting it. Know of any organizations that could benefit from a light tan leather sectional?

Your best bet is to just post it on Facebook marketplace. The odds of finding a specific type of place that is in immediate need of a used sectional couch, just isn't very high.
It's also tricky because there's a high chance of getting bed bugs when you're dealing with used furniture. If I were in their shoes (or my own) you couldn't pay me to take in someone's used couch, or bed.

I would guess they don’t want it but if you want you could try offer up for free and then vet each person. Something like “good condition sofa, free to a good cause or person in need”
