The partnership

A September tradition in our Workshop

Families who come to Furniture Bank often have the keys to a new apartment and very little to put in it. Lennox teams first came to us in September 2024 to help get that furniture ready, and they have been back since.

Lennox has been making furnaces since 1895, and today its home heating and cooling equipment is sold across the United States and Canada. The company set up the LII Lennox Foundation to support the communities where its employees live and work, and it encourages its people to volunteer. The teams who come to Furniture Bank are from Lennox Industries (Canada), based in Brampton. They show up in red Lennox Foundation T-shirts.

The work has changed from one visit to the next. The first team assembled wooden step stools and painted tables in our warehouse. In September 2025, a team assembled 60 chairs and three dressers. In September 2026, volunteers sanded tabletops and put furniture together. The team also tested 50 donated electronics, so that what a family takes home works when they plug it in.

Everything they finish goes onto our showroom floor. Families are referred to us by social service agencies: newcomers and refugees, people leaving homelessness, and women and children starting over after a shelter stay. When a family visits, our team matches them with the furniture their household needs. A chair or dresser a Lennox volunteer put together can be part of that match.

Lennox has given money as well as time. In December 2025, the company made a $10,000 gift to Furniture Bank.
