How Caring Transitions of Parsippany Gives Back: Commitment to Community

At Caring Transitions of Parsippany, giving back is part of who we are. Many of our clients value the opportunity to donate unwanted items during their transition, and we take that to heart. That’s why we partner with a variety of local charities — to make sure these belongings don’t end up in landfills, but instead find new homes where they’re truly needed or help raise funds for a good cause.

We’ve gathered a list of local organizations in our area that gladly accept donations of gently used items. Whether you’re downsizing, decluttering, or simply want to help others, these resources provide meaningful ways to give back. And if coordinating donations feels overwhelming, our Caring Transitions team can take care of the process for you—making sure your items find a second life and benefit those who need them most.

• Goodwill – Accepts a wide range of household goods at donation centers.
• Salvation Army – Offers both drop-off locations and scheduled pick-ups for large items.
• The Warehouse NJ – Supplies furniture to families in need; contact for donation guidelines.
• Furniture Assist – Sunday-only drop-offs; can connect you with approved movers for paid pick-up to their warehouse.

These partners help keep quality items in circulation—furnishing homes instead of filling landfills.

Several local organizations make donating easy by offering scheduled doorstep pickups. With just a quick appointment, you can set items outside your home and they’ll take care of the rest—often leaving a donation receipt for your records. These services are perfect for smaller household items you’d like to pass along to a good cause without the hassle of transporting them yourself. And if you’d prefer, our Caring Transitions team can coordinate pickups on your behalf, ensuring your donations go smoothly and find their way to those who need them most.

• Pickup Please – Supports veterans’ programs; collects small items one person can lift (up to ~20 items). Schedule 1–2 weeks in advance, place items out by 7 AM, and they’ll collect by day’s end.
• GreenDrop – Similar guidelines to Pickup Please, with proceeds benefiting partner charities like the American Red Cross.
• Habitat for Humanity ReStore – Accepts approved furniture, appliances, and building materials. Submit photos for approval; pickups often available within a week if not fully booked.

These options are perfect for items that can be carried by one person and don’t require special handling.
