Thank you for inquiring about donating to the Fresh Start Furniture Program at Found in Faith Ministries. Please note that the IRS requires all in-kind donations to be in “good or better condition”. If you are unsure, a good question to consider is- Would you donate this item to a friend or family member in need? If the answer is YES, than we will likely love to pass it along it to ours. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse any donations that we believe do not meet IRS guidelines.
