We Furnish Futures

Everyday families across the Bay Area are living without furniture, a basic necessity.
They are forced to sleep, eat, and work on the floor. We help change that.

Give a Little, Change a Lot.

“A house is made with walls and beams. A home is made with love and dreams.”
Help us help those in need to have the chance to dream again.

We Promote Dignity and Stability

Furniture is the setting for life’s moments. Where we work, eat, learn, and love.
It restores dignity and pride and is a fundamental component to daily life.
