Upcoming Fundraisers
Hundreds of hand-blown glass pumpkins will descend into Setauket with a spotlight on our furniture bank to keep up with Long Island's rising need!
Join us for the 3rd Annual Glass Pumpkin Patch from September 18-20, 2026, 10am-5pm on the historic Setauket Village Green on Caroline Avenue.
WHAT IS A GLASS PUMPKIN PATCH?
Hosted the weekend of September 18-20, 2026, it’s a festive event and art installation featuring hundreds of whimsical, colorful glass pumpkins handblown by award-winning artist Gregory Tomb.
20% of proceeds will benefit Open Door Exchange. The remainder covers the event logistics and the support of an independent artist.
Tomb’s work has been featured in events and museums nationwide, and he has hosted similar art installations across the country, including well-known glass pumpkin patches in the Hudson Valley, to benefit charities like Make-A-Wish.

THE WHY
If you’ve ever moved into a new place, you know that furnishing a home adds up fast.
Now imagine starting from scratch after a crisis like domestic violence, homelessness, or financial hardship. A mattress isn’t just a mattress... it’s safety, dignity, and the chance to rest and rebuild.
OPEN DOOR EXCHANGE IS THE FIRST AND ONLY FURNITURE BANK ON LONG ISLAND.
Think of us like a food bank, but for essential household furniture.
We collect gently used items from people who are downsizing, moving, or simply clearing out, and we make sure they go directly to veterans, single parents, survivors of domestic violence, and anyone navigating a tough chapter in life.
Since our inception, we have:
-
Furnished 2,000+ Homes
-
Provided over 13,554 Pieces of Furniture
-
Diverted over 1.1 million pounds from Landfills
That’s thousands of beds, dressers, kitchen tables, and couches for free, to people who need them most.
Partnering with us means more than just writing a check.
It means helping someone sleep off the floor. It means giving a dining table for a family to eat together. It means turning four empty walls into a home. Let’s do that. Together.
Home is Where the Heart Quilts
One entry for $5.
Five entries for $20.
Donated and handmade by the Long Island Modern Quilters Guild, this one-of-a-kind, hand-quilted masterpiece features a charming collection of appliquéd house blocks, each individually designed with its own fabric pattern, color palette, and personality with no two houses alike.
This queen sized piece of art is a true labor of love, valued at over $250. A perfect statement piece for any home, from farmhouse to eclectic.
