Viz For Social Good – Furniture Bank 2019

The last 45 days the amazing volunteers of VIZ FOR SOCIAL GOOD worked with our impact datasets to tell stories about Furniture Bank.

Designers from Japan, India, USA, UK, Singapore, Ireland, and of course Canada created 19 different data visualizations with Tableau, Flourish and Kaggle!
Each telling the furniture for good story that occurs here in the Greater Toronto Area.

Amazing to see the creativity that comes from the same data!
