Welcome

Off 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.

To meet the extensive furniture needs of families in our region, it takes a continuous stream of gently used furniture donations, volunteers to serve on teams to pick up and deliver the furniture, and financial contributions to cover costs of storage, truck maintenance and gasoline.  You can help OFP by telling friends and neighbors who are moving, remodeling or redecorating about us.  Provide them with our phone number, 412 926-5053, and refer them to this website.

An article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, July 1, 2007 , discussed the current state of poverty in Pittsburgh.
Our goal in 2010 was to help 100 families, which was met successfully.

Read more about the activities of Off the Floor Pittsburgh in Ann Rogers'   report in the Aug, 17, 2008 issue of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
