At Good Move Downsizing, we believe clearing a home can also strengthen a community. Many of the items we handle — furniture, décor, kitchenware, books — still have years of life left. Instead of adding to landfills, we match those items with local Twin Cities nonprofits that can put them to good use.
We also listen closely to our clients’ values and causes. If a family cares deeply about housing, the environment, literacy, or helping kids, we prioritize donations to partners that align with those passions. Every project becomes an opportunity to do good in a way that feels personal.

Our team carefully sorts and packs donations from each project, then coordinates delivery to the nonprofits that best match both the items and the client’s chosen causes.
