Friends and community remind us of the light and good in the world. We need more of these reminders and connections with one another.
We invite you to gather with us for our 2026 Community Housewarming Party on Thursday, March 26th from 5:00–8:00 p.m.
“Home means everything to me. It’s a place for creativity, warm meals, joy, laughter. healing, and rest. It’s where people recharge, feel safe, and find the stability needed to move forward. Having a comfortable place to land at the end of the day can make all the difference in how we show up for ourselves and our communities.”
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.
“Furniture Friends is an integral part of our goal to help our shelter residents transition into safe, permanent housing. It would be nearly impossible for individuals moving from an emergency shelter to establish independent living without the necessary furniture to create the comfort of a home.”
“Furniture Friends was so wonderful. I had saved money for the move, but with the uncertainty of securing employment and a work visa, I expected that it would be many months before we’d have the basics to live comfortably.”
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.
