Moving? Redecorating? De-cluttering? Updating?
Don't throw out your used items.
Take your clutter and make it into a mitzvah!
Through our Item Redistribution Program, United Chesed acts as a matchmaker between donor and client to ensure your gently-used, working items find a new home for those in our community who would otherwise be unable to afford them.

How It Works
- Click the button below to access and fill out our form.
- We will circulate an email with a description of your item(s) to our client base of families in need.
- When someone is interested in an item, we will put them directly in touch with you so they may pick up the items from you at a mutually agreed upon time.
Most items are spoken for within a week of the email's circulation.
