You can search by zip code for places to donate household items -like couches- on NYC Stuff Exchange (http://www.nyc.gov/html/stuffex/html/donate/where_to_donate.shtml). If you’re not into searching, try your local Salvation Army store or even better, Covenant House (https://www.covenanthouse.org/donate/other/in-kind) which serves families and children transitioning out of homelessness. Always call ahead to make sure wherever you’re going is willing to take your donation. If you’d like a more specific suggestion close to where you live, or an organization that will come and pick it up, let me know your zip code and I’ll do some digging. Good luck!
