Wait! Don't throw out that piece of furniture! If you have trouble giving away something for free, or you have some things that may end up on the curb to fill our landfills, please know that we at Who's Your Brother will be collecting all manner of furnishings (furniture, clothing, electronics, kitchenware, etc.) for an event called Furnish for Free, where the public will be invited to come and choose what they need on Saturday, October 1. If the attendees/recipients have no money, the stuff will be free. If they can afford to make a donation of $5-10 (plus?), that will help to cover the overhead involved in holding this event. We will be collecting things on Friday September 30th from 2-7pm at 201 N. Braddock, 15208. There is a loading dock on the Thomas Blvd side of the building, and we will be there to help you unload - follow the signs. Please contact us at: FurnishforFree@gmail.com if you cannot bring the items to our location, and we will do our best to send someone to pick it/them up. Please only offer things that are in good condition and re-usable!!! Please note: We are limiting this to donations from areas within a 10-mile range of the East End, but will hopefully hold future events in other areas around Pittsburgh, depending on the success of this first Furnish for Free. Join us, and let's put to use what is perfectly good and keep it out of our landfills! The event also has a Facebook page.
