Our 2025 Impact
We are deeply moved by the trust you’ve places in us. In 2025, your kindness allowed 864 households to turn empty apartments into true homes. These aren’t just statistics; they are our neighbors finding the rest and dignity they deserve. We are simply the stewards of your generosity and invite you to see the full impact of our shared work.
Introducing our Newest Board Members
We are delighted to welcome and introduce you to four new members of our board of directors! And we want to thank our departing members, Jen Goldman and Leah Koch for their many years of leadership, commitments, generosity and service to our work and mission.
2025 Fall Update
Last year, Furniture Friends had over 912 furniture donations, resulting in a total of 6,667 items distributed to the community. We had hundreds of volunteers collectively donate over 4,129 hours of their time, and 488 donors gave financially to support our work.
Donations Needed
For much of the summer and fall, our warehouse was stocked to the brim! Now, as the colder months approach, we are quickly seeing our overstock begin to dwindle. We are in need of donations across nearly all categories.
Light The World Giving Machine
This giving season, we are delighted to be partnering with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for their Light the World Giving Machine initiative taking place from November 20th – December 10th at the Maine Mall.
