Raise money for Furniture Bank
Founded in 1998, Furniture Bank is a registered charity and social enterprise which redistributes gently-used furniture and housewares from donors in the community to families and individuals experiencing furniture poverty.
Revenues generated through our furniture removal service, which is run as a social enterprise, funds our charitable activities as we work to end furniture poverty – one sofa and one family at a time.
Our vision
A Canada in which everyone has the stability and dignity of a furnished home.
What is furniture poverty?
Any person or a family without the financial means to make their empty housing into a furnished home is said to live in furniture poverty. Not having a bed to sleep on, not having a table to eat at, not having a couch to sit on. There are harmful physical, emotional, and financial consequences of furniture poverty.
