The VA has sites all over. When I have large items to donate, I request a pickup and they will come out to my house.

I haven't always had the best of luck donating items, especially furniture.  It has been my experience, espeically with Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity that they are not the easiest to deal with.  They want furniture is practically new condiition.  I can understand no tears, stains, etc.  I had to send them pictures, call them several times because they had questions.  It was a pain.  I do most of my donating now to a local thrift store that proceeds go to a no kill animal shelter.  If I was her, I'd start by asking neighbors if they're interested in anything and who knows, maybe they know somebody looking for something.  I'd also consider having a garage sale, but leave it all in the house (like an estate sale would be) so she wouldn't have to worry about moving stuff.  She could always hire people to have the sale for her and pay them.  Not one place is going to take all her stuff.  It's probably going to be multiple places and people to get it done.

Thanks everyone, I passed  the info to my friend, it gave her a starting point.

This may have been suggested already here but she should ask her realtor about all that. The one I had when I sold my house was a wealth of information about all sorts of things.
