Chinese translation of Resources at HCC

resources at HCC

The Hospitality Center for Chinese serves as a connection between American and Chinese people and resources. We collect and give away gently used furniture, provide transportation, offer housing/host families, provide a connection with local churches, and much more.

Furniture

Announcements

If you need any type of transportation, such as help moving furniture or a ride to the airport, please fill out this form and email your request to peter@hcchinese.org. We require at minimum 2 business days notice in order to process the request. HCC cannot guarantee that we can meet your request, be we’re happy to try. A suggested $10 donation is requested for transportation services.

HCC does not have furniture during the school year, but if you need something specific, we are happy to help you find what you need or provide transportation to a store to purchase it. We go shopping every Saturday morning at 10:00am. Email Peter to submit your request: peter@hcchinese.org

Give Furniture

HCC welcomes donations of gently used furniture. All gifts are tax deductable and will be given to Chinese students and families to help them settle into their new Minnesota homes. The summer is the time of greatest demand for furniture and we collect furniture in our basement May-August. We are able to pick up your donations with our van, though if you can deliver it yourself that is helpful. Items such as beds, desks, and light-weight couches, dressers, tables, chairs, etc. are the most useful. During the school year we can list your available items on this page and HCC will connect you with students who may want your item. Students are encouraged to re-donate furniture when they are vacating their apartments.

Receive Furniture

HCC is glad to help you furnish your home- we know that it is hard to bring a bed and desk on the airplane! September–May you may see what is available here on this page. If you have a specific need, please email us and we will help you locate the item. During the summer our basement becomes a furniture warehouse, and we welcome you to come by to see. We can help you to deliver the items with our van and driver. The furniture is free and is donated by local Christian families.

Please contact us if you are looking for a roommate or apartment. We will try our best to connect you with a roommate or place to live.
