Furniture Guidelines | Open Door Exchange

Open Door Exchange is dedicated to treating all of our guests with dignity and respect.

One of the ways we do this is by providing a selection of quality furniture that our guests would be proud to own.

Please only donate items that you would feel comfortable giving to family or friends. Everyone deserves to have a home that feels safe and dignified.
