WelcomeOff the Floor Pittsburgh is a local Christian volunteer ministry which, since 2004, has provided basic used furniture like beds, dressers, tables, and chairs to disadvantaged families who lack these items.
An article in the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, July 1, 2007 , discussed the current state of poverty in Pittsburgh.
Our goal in 2009 was to help 100 families, which was met successfully.

Ann Rogers' report in the Aug, 17, 2008 issue of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
To meet our goals in 2010, we need a continuous stream of
kindly used furniture donations, volunteers to serve on teams to pickup and deliver the furniture, and cash contributions to cover costs of storage, truck rentals, and gasoline.

Important Notice: Due to many donors on the waiting list, coupled with the fact that our season ends on 12/12/09, we are unable to accept any more donations this year. We will begin our next pick-up and delivery season at the beginning of March,2010. The exception is if a donor can bring their item or items to our warehouse. if so, please complete the donor form on our WEBSITE and we will get back to you to make arrangements to meet you for your furniture drop off. ]
As of Jun 1, 2009 we have many families on our waiting list. The need for basic furniture is
urgent. You can also help us by mentioning our need to friends and/or neighbors who may be moving, remodeling or redecorating. Provide them with our phone number, 412 531-6227 x220, and/or refer them to this website.
