I would like to donate furniture, are there items you will not accept?
Our recipients have have suffered physical and emotional traumas serving in our military or as victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. We believe they deserve the very best we can give.

We grateful to have the support of furniture manufactures, retailers and designers within our community and are able to provided our recipients with new items.

I am unable to volunteer, are there other ways I can help?

What is an Installation?
The day we spend moving furniture and supplies into a home, we call an installation. An installation day involves volunteers on-site moving in furniture, making the beds, unpacking accessories, washing and organizing kitchen supplies, etc.
What exactly do you provide?
When a recipient is ready to leave the hospital, has been awarded a home or secured independent permanent housing the family faces the prospect of moving into a completely unfurnished house. Furnishing Hope loads a truck with furniture, accessories, art, and supplies arrive at the house and turn an empty house into a home. Our recipients and their families can literally walk in with only a toothbrush and be comfortable. A typical home furniture package would include a sofa, recliner, coffee and end tables, TV console, dining table and chairs, bedroom set with mattress, foundation, and frame, and bedroom sets for the children and or nursery the baby. Kitchen setups include everything to prepare, cook, serve, and eat a meal, and bed and bath setups include everything to sleep and shower.
