We collect gently used furniture from local donors and, through our agency partners, furnish homes for families moving out of homelessness, domestic violence, and other crises.
You donate furniture
Drop off gently used furniture and household items at our warehouse on Sundays from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Check our accepted items list before you load up.
We prepare and sort
Our volunteers sort, store, and prepare items for families referred by our partner agencies.
Families make a home
Clients select what they need to turn empty rooms into a comfortable, dignified home.

Your furniture changes lives
Every sofa, table, and bed you give helps turn an empty apartment into a real home for a family starting over.
From empty rooms to a real home
“I came today because it’s been hard to get a job. We just moved into a new place and I can’t afford the furniture. I was able to get some help from Furniture Assist with a bed for myself, a new mattress for my son, a couch, pots, pans, utensils, clothes, toys — literally everything I need. My mom comes to visit a lot and since the couch is a pullout, she now has somewhere to sleep. It’s been a godsend, and I’m so appreciative.”
