Community Warehouse — Attraction in Tigard

If difficulty in donating quality used furniture to a non profit is your intent, you have come to the right place. I recently had good friends pass away. It was their wish to have the remaining household furnishings "donated" to the Community Warehouse. After several e-mail attempts to coordinate the pick-up of these items I was informed they do not pick up items at a distance greater than 10 miles. The Warehouse referred two different moving companies, each with quotes of $750 or higher. Paying to donate needed items seems wrong. I rented a moving truck and recruited friends to help pack up. The following morning I drove to the Tualatin location and delivered the items. I was hoping for help but ended up with 10 minutes of assistance from one employee who then was gone.

So apparently this group is in the business of ripping off the federal government and homeless vets trying to get back on their feet. Those guys you see on Offer Up and Craigs List always selling new furniture out of their garages and you wonder how and where they get it...yeah, your...

First of all, I'd like to point out that Community Warehouse is a non-profit "nonprofit furniture bank, redistributing donated furnishings and household items to households in need through community partnerships." The estate stores- there are two of them- carry vintage, antique and interesting furniture, art and household items and the sales from these go to fund costs of running the non-profit side of business like rent, utilities and salaries. However, volunteers are the majority of workers who keep the stores and distribution sides operating. Both stores have their own vibe-this store feels more contemporary and the furniture and art do as well. Great prices, clean air and furniture and wonderful staff make this store a...
