The Furniture Bank Workshop (On site): 

When your team volunteers at Furniture Bank, you’re stepping into a day of impact, creativity, and connection. Volunteers take on a mix of meaningful, hands-on activities — from assembling furniture for families, to sanding, painting, or even reupholstering chairs in our workshop. Whether you’re building, fixing, or refreshing gently used items, every task helps transform empty spaces into functional, comfortable homes for people starting over. It’s a unique team experience that blends purpose with teamwork—and makes a lasting difference.

Build-a-thon (Offsite):

Can’t make it to our facility? No problem! You can purchase and build furniture items at your office or a location of your choice. Build-A-Thons are hands-on volunteer events where teams come together to assemble essential furniture for families in need. These events are a fun, engaging way to give back, strengthen team connections, and make a tangible impact in the community. No matter the size of your group, Build-A-Thons provide a meaningful experience that make a lasting difference for both participants and the families they support. Two types of Build-A-Thons to choose from, DIY or PLUS.

Frequently asked questions:

Group/corporate volunteer opportunities require an Experience Fee of $1800 per group of up to (17 ppl).

A lot goes into planning and coordinating your group’s volunteer event—and the fee helps cover those costs, as well as the materials needed to make it all happen! It also ensures we can continue offering these impactful volunteer opportunities, which are instrumental in raising awareness for furniture poverty.

Additionally, these events support vital programs within Furniture Bank. So, while your team is giving back by taking part in a fun and engaging team building event, you’re also helping us make a difference in the community.

Can’t make it to our facility? No problem! You can purchase and build furniture items at your office or a location of your choice, with the Furniture Bank team coming to pick up the items.
