Donate your gently used
furniture and household essentials.
Everyone has something to give!

For us to help you, you’ll need to be referred by one of our agency partners. If you have a caseworker from a social service agency, please ask them if the organization is a Furnish Hope Partner.
If it is, your caseworker will let you know if you’re eligible to receive a referral. We can also help your caseworker become a partner if they are not already.

Any person or family without the financial means to make their empty house into a furnished home is said to be living in furniture poverty. This affects too many low-income people in the United States, and the impact can be devastating.
Not having a bed to sleep on means a poor night’s sleep, affecting your ability to live, work and study. Not having a sofa to sit on means you can be unwilling to invite friends or support workers into your home. Moving into empty housing can often lead to people giving up housing and returning to a shelter because at least there they have a bed to sleep on.
Furniture poverty can present itself in many ways. Some households exhibit furniture insecurity: they may have the items they need for now, however, if something essential breaks or needs replacing, they often do not have the means to do so. These households are often moving from one crisis to another. Other households exhibit furniture destitution when they have none or very few of the basic items needed.
Furnish Hope steps in to narrow these affordability gaps and provide the essentials that foster permanency, comfort and pride.
