Help Needed

Project Furniture is in need of volunteers to help with the pick-up and delivery of furniture and beds, as well as ongoing organization of the furniture area of the Operation Wildcat warehouse.  You do not have to have a truck or trailer to help out – we are most in need of the ‘muscle’ to move the items in and out of the warehouse. Days, evenings or weekends – any time would be helpful. If you would like to learn more about Operation Wildcat’s Project Furniture please contact: Bill Richie at wood294@verizon.net or Kaleb DIssinger at t34foru@yahoo.com.

 

Service Hours Opportunities:

Project Furniture and Housewares is always in need of help with sorting and organizing items in the storage facility.  Please contact  the Project Coordinator if you would like to volunteer.

​

Donation of Items

  • For all furniture donations please contact Maureen with pictures of the furniture items you would like to donate (mmross4@comcast.net, 717-773-1988).  No furniture will be accepted without pictures sent ahead of time to ensure we have room in the warehouse, and they are items our families can use. 

  • We no longer accept any electrical items that need to be installed (unless NEW in box) - no ceiling/wall lighting, ceiling fans, etc. as we have no way to test them. 

  • We no longer accept glass top furniture items (table tops, coffee table/end tables with glass tops).  Our warehouse does not have the room to properly store these items. 

  • We only accept new or gently used furniture

  • We cannot accept any items that are broken, stained or torn.

  • If you are donating sheets, comforters and blankets, please label the bag, with a marker, with the size being donated, i.e. Twin, Full, etc

​

At the present time(due to all the donations received and lack of space) we are NOT taking:

  • Clothing

  • artificial Christmas trees (contact Project Tannenbaum chair Patti Herring familyzeke@verizon.net to make arrangements)

  • canister vacuums/ floor steamers/cleaners

  • dehumidifiers

  • electrical fixtures that need to be installed (i.e. ceiling/wall lighting, ceiling fans)
