Why not get a head start on your spring cleaning this month by donating your gently used furniture to needy families?
Furniture Sharehouse, which provides gently-used free furniture to families moving out of homeless shelters, escaping domestic violence, or recovering from natural or personal disasters, will be collecting furniture from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 17 in the parking lot of Mamaroneck High School. The school’s Furniture Sharehouse club is sponsoring the drive.
