The furniture bank services all include the previously homeless, unemployed and working poor, battered women and children in retreat, immigrants, individuals with mental or physical disabilities, victims of fire, robbery, natural disasters, etc. Having housing, but are faced with the harsh reality that their “home” is empty or severely under-furnished – without beds for the children, a table, chairs, and dishes to share meals, or even a sofa to sit on and relax.

 

After basic expenses such as rent, utilities, food, and clothing are paid, there’s little if anything left for the common household furnishings we all take for granted.

 

Furniture banks provide more than furniture and household items to recipients. We provide dignity. Not just dignity and pride in one’s home, but the dignity of choice.

All furniture donations received will be in good, usable condition, allowing items to be used as intended and loved by furniture recipients.

 

In addition, rather than merely handing over a pre-selected list of furniture items; where possible, furniture banks allow recipients to choose their own furniture. As such many furniture banks operate a showroom, inviting clients to browse the furniture on offer and select items that suit their style and tastes.

In order to provide an efficient service, we provide a pickup and delivery service, within a set radius and for a modest fee.

​

Furniture donors receive a charitable tax receipt for the value of their furniture donation.
