Furnish Hope’s mission is to enhance lives with furnishings and household essentials while providing a sense of security, dignity and belonging to:

Individuals transitioning out of homelessness or recovery

People with disabilities or medical challenges

Refugees and people fleeing domestic violence

Foster youth and families and aged-out foster teenagers

Veterans who have bravely served our country

Families who have lost a home to natural disaster

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 partners with Furnish Hope.

If it is a partner, 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.

Furniture banks are registered charities, not-for-profit organizations or organizations designed to provide gently used household furnishings to individuals and families in need. If you are in need of furniture or have furniture you would like to donate, Furnish Hope would love to help you.

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.

There is no cost to you for furnishings or delivery.

All furnishing and essentials are subject to availability as our inventory changes daily based on what has been donated.

Donated items are in gently-used condition. These are the main essentials that you will be able to request:

Sofa

Dining table and chairs

Mattress and bedframe

Dresser

Linens (bedding and towels)

Kitchen essentials

Furnish Hope serves all communities in Central Oregon. Deliveries of pre-selected furnishings are scheduled 3-4 weeks out.

Furniture will be delivered directly to the entryway of your home. We are not able to place them throughout the house. We do not need access to an elevator, but it is recommended that you have 2-3 strong individuals who can help with lifting heavier items.

Please make sure that there is an adult (aged 18 or older) in the home to accept delivery.

Yes, you can schedule a pick-up at our donation center for the items that have been pre-selected for you. Donation center pick-ups are scheduled 1-3 weeks out.

Please be sure to bring a vehicle that can safely transport all the items, tie-downs and tarps (as needed) and helpers to assist us with loading and securing.
