HomeWAYS TO SUPPORTDonate Your Time
The Furniture Bank relies on volunteer support to help families in our community. There are many ways to offer your talent to the Furniture Bank.
  • Working in Client Services and showroom
    If you would like to work with our client families, volunteering in Client Services is the way to go.  This puts you in a position to help families walk through our warehouse and help them select the furnishings for their new home.
  • Helping in the office
    Do you have a special skill or a flair for administration? Volunteer in our office to assist in daily tasks such as scheduling times for pickup of donated furniture and delivery of client furniture. You can also prepare donor packages and write thank you letters to current donors. 
You can put your creative skills to good use by creating flyers, posters and more to support fundraising events and communications.
  • Sorting in the warehouse
    If you have an eye for organization, you can help to sort through donated items such as housewares and linens and assist our clients in choosing the best items to suit their needs.
  • Fundraising
    The fundraising team is always in need of excellent researchers, writers and business development professionals with some time to donate to our critically important fundraising efforts. Let us know what your passion is and how you can support us in generating donations.
