Mission: from website:

The Mission of Deeds is a non-profit organization staffed by a group of dedicated volunteers who are located in Reading, Massachusetts. We purchase beds with cash donations and distribute them, along with donated furniture and other household items in good condition, to needy families and individuals living in Middlesex and Essex counties of Massachusetts.

We rely solely on the donation of funds, furniture and other household items for distribution to those in need of assistance. Cash donations are used to purchase mattresses, box springs, and bed frames. We accept donations of furniture, such as tables and chairs, linens, lamps, pots and pans, and other household items in good, usable condition.

Transforming generosity into hope and improving the lives of people in need... these are the goals of the Mission of Deeds, a volunteer organization that is dedicated to helping homeless and needy families at a time when they need it most.

Our drop off hours for donations are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. - 4 p.m., and every second Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.


Areas Served: Middlesex or Essex Counties
Eligibility For Services:These items are distributed to families and individuals who are referred to us by social service agencies
