The Charming Foundation

Selling Some Donated Items Online
Not all donated items are needed immediately for furnishing a home. Some items are carefully selected and sold online, and 100% of the proceeds help fund our mission. This revenue allows us to purchase items we always need, such as:

A Family-Run Legacy of Community Care
The Charming Foundation is operated by the same small, dedicated team behind Charming Movers — a trusted, female-owned, family-operated moving company since 2004. This nonprofit isn’t managed from a distance — it’s run with heart, hands, and a deep commitment to community service.
Partnerships & Community Collaboration
If your organization supports families transitioning into stable housing, we welcome the opportunity to partner. We collaborate with local shelters, case managers and social workers, faith-based outreach initiatives, community service organizations, and other local nonprofits.
Sustainability at the Heart of Our Work
Every year, thousands of pounds of usable furniture are discarded. By rescuing, reusing, and rehoming items, the Charming Foundation: Reduces landfill waste, Extends the life cycle of quality furniture, Supports eco-conscious community giving, and turns unwanted items into powerful acts of kindness
