The seed for Mission of Deeds was planted when our founder, Tony Triglione, learned that providing beds, furniture, and household goods was an underserved area of human services. Inspired by My Brother’s Keeper, then in Brockton, Tony began plans for a furniture charity north of Boston.

In 1993 Tony bought Mission of Deeds a former Ryder box truck and gave the new charity space in a building that housed one of his stores. A few volunteers joined, furniture inventory was accumulated and social service organizations began to take note.

In the many years since, we estimate that we have furnished the apartments of more than 16,500 families in need. The clients include the formerly homeless, victims of domestic violence, elders without support, refugees, displaced veterans, and the disabled.

Sometimes we receive donated items that are not suitable for clients but have monetary value. As a fundraiser to buy new beds and fund the general operations of the organization, we hosted yard sales in the past. Due to COVID, we have not had a yard sale since 2019. This is not your typical yard sale. All items are high quality and available at bargain prices. Hundreds of people have attended the yard sale in the past. We even had a line forming before we officially opened.

This year, we are adding an online silent auction for selective items. The in-person yard sale is on Saturday, April 27 from 9 AM to 11:45 AM and will feature hundreds of high-quality items at bargain prices.
