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.
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?
Easy Pick-Up Services
For those looking to donate larger items like sofas or dressers, Gorman’s has made the process super convenient. They’re offering free furniture pickups every Tuesday until February 25. Just remember, you will need to pre-schedule this service! Simply call or visit one of Gorman’s showrooms 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 actively seeking 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!
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:
- 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, with an exclusive pre-sale for members on February 6. Looking for a romantic evening? Ford House is debuting a special music series, ‘Cabaret Over the Cove’, with a Valenine’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. And talent meets vintage at the Hawk Theatre in Farmington Hills, which will feature the Antiques Twelve Mile Road Show on February 8 – a unique chance to get informal appraisals of your prized possessions.
