How we are making an impact with national organizations
Family Promise
The goal of our collaboration with Family Promise is to expand homelessness prevention and shelter diversion services across the country, as well as bring the experience of home to families battling homelessness and housing instability. Over the last four years we’ve collaborated in more than 18 US markets, providing furniture donations, co-worker support and home furnishing expertise to transform transitional housing spaces, shelters and day centers for families experiencing homelessness.
Save the Children
We’ve worked with Save the Children for over a decade to provide thousands of children and their families with a healthy start in life and protection from harm through product donations and financial support. In 2023, we supported the annual Make Summer Fair program, raising $17,560 from customers and contributing an additional $50,000.
American Red Cross
We’ve built a strong relationship with American Red Cross through over a decade of collaboration. Through in-kind product donations, volunteering and financial contributions, we support the Red Cross as they work to deliver vital services, from providing relief and support to those in crisis, to helping people be prepared to respond in emergencies.
