Black Lives Matter

Furniture Friends was founded in 2012 with the belief that every person deserves a home that is safe and comfortable. Our experience has shown us that this safety and comfort is not equally accessible to all people in our community – and that black, indigenous, and people of color experience poverty at much higher rates than their white neighbors.
