Dear Friends,
It is with a full heart that I write to share the news of my decision to retire as Executive Director from Furniture Friends effective November 1, 2025. I first joined the organization as a volunteer in 2013 and celebrated my 10th anniversary on staff last summer, with the last eight years serving as Executive Director. It has been the honor of a lifetime to lead this grassroots, mission-driven organization—one that truly changes lives.
Taylor Taliaferro, Furniture Friends Board President, joined RadioHaylstorm in the studio to talk about our mission to provide essential household furniture to families in need across Greater Portland. Catch the interview where Taylor shared our 2024 impact–serving over 900 households with donated items like mattresses, dining tables and more. Click below to listen!
