Please contact our Donated Goods team, donategoods@tgpdenver.org, if you would like to donate any furniture or any items not on this list. Our facility has limited storage space and our case managers are often personally responsible for delivering furniture and home goods to their clients. Emailing us with information about your item's weight and dimensions will help ensure that we have the space to accept your donation and that our case managers will be able to transport the items. A photo is always helpful as well!
