Donate Money

You can make a significant impact on the lives of those struggling within your community. Remember every financial gift received helps those in need receive home furnishings.

With every dollar you donate, Furniture Bank can do one of two things:

1. Ensure that our program reaches as many families and individuals as possible.

2. Direct your money towards the purchase of furniture and furnishings - we are able to buy in bulk from our friends in the furniture industry to help maintain inventory levels.

Here are three simple ways for you to make a financial gift:
