The partnership

Team Depot keeps showing up

Home Depot associates have volunteered with Furniture Bank since 2015, and since late 2024 they have come back again and again, building, cleaning and repairing furniture for families moving into a home of their own.

The Home Depot Canada has 182 stores in ten provinces, and Team Depot is its associate volunteer force, set up so associates can support their communities through hands-on service. You can spot its volunteers by their orange shirts in the photos below.

Two Home Depot teams came in November 2024, and four more came in 2025. In June 2026, 40 associates assembled 24 pieces of new furniture for families at a Build-A-Thon, and in August a team was back in our Workshop to clean and repair donated pieces. Home Depot has also donated brand-new furniture, and The Home Depot Canada Foundation has supported Furniture Bank with grants.

Everything Home Depot volunteers finish goes to the families we serve: newcomers and refugees, people leaving homelessness, and women and children starting over after a shelter stay. A social service agency refers each family to us, and our team helps them choose what their household needs from our showroom.

When a family chooses a dresser or a table in our showroom, there is a good chance a volunteer team like Home Depot’s helped get it ready. Thank you to every Team Depot volunteer who has spent a day with us, and to the teams still to come.
