Join the Movement: Gorman’s Home Furnishings’ Housewarming Party
Hey there, home improvement lovers and goodwill warriors! If you’re looking to spruce up your space while spreading some positivity, you’re in luck. Gorman’s Home Furnishings and Interior Design has officially launched its second annual ‘Michigan’s Largest Housewarming Party’, and it’s all about giving back to families in need right here in Metro Detroit.
Support Your Community with a Simple Donation
Donating your gently used items is one of the easiest ways to make a difference! Instead of letting obsolete furniture sit collecting dust, why not donate it to local charities like the Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit, Habitat Oakland ReStore, and Humble Design Detroit? These organizations are committed to helping families turn their houses into homes, and your generosity can truly change lives. Plus, who doesn’t love the idea of a little pre-spring cleaning?
Easy Pick-Up Services
Got a sofa or a dresser that needs a new home? Don’t fret! Gorman’s has made donating those larger items a breeze. They’re offering free furniture pickups every Tuesday until February 25! All you need to do is pre-schedule the service by calling or popping into one of their showrooms located in Novi, Southfield, or Troy. It’s quick, easy, and you’ll feel fantastic knowing you’re helping others!
What to Donate
What kind of items does Gorman’s need? The team is on the lookout for all sorts of furniture that can find a second life. Here’s a quick rundown of what to consider donating:
- Sofas
- Chairs
- Kitchen tables
- Dressers
- Bed frames
- Bookshelves
- Coffee/end tables
While anything in decent shape is appreciated, they especially need smaller items that can easily find a new home. Make sure that everything you donate is in great condition – think no rips, tears, or stains!
Household Essentials Needed
Gorman’s isn’t just on the hunt for furniture; they’re also accepting new, unused household items that help create a cozy living space. Here are some must-have items you can donate:
- Dish towels
- Oven mitts
- Small kitchen tools and appliances
- Measuring cups
- Bath towels
- Other miscellaneous household items
Donations can be dropped off at any Gorman’s showroom, their warehouse, or the Three-Day Clearance Center in Farmington Hills during regular business hours. Just think of the satisfaction you’ll feel to declutter your home while helping families settle into their new spaces!
Exciting Local Happenings
Besides the awesome housewarming drive, February is buzzing with local events you might want to check out. For the bookworms, the Bennett Civic Center Library in Livonia will host a used book sale from February 7-9, plus a special pre-sale for members on February 6. If you’re in the mood for romance, don’t miss Ford House’s ‘Cabaret Over the Cove’ with a Valentine’s dinner slated for February 14 – what a fabulous way to celebrate love!
For those interested in home renovations, Dzinly is making waves downtown with a home project in Madison Heights that allows residents to vote on the exterior design choices. Also, don’t miss out on the Antiques Twelve Mile Road Show at the Hawk Theatre in Farmington Hills, happening on February 8. Get your prized possessions appraised – it’s a vintage lover’s dream!
