Mission<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Fresh Start Furniture Bank is a volunteer-run charity that helps restore hope, dignity, and stability in our community by recycling donated furniture and housewares, for free, to people in need. Our secondary goal is to keep these items out of the waste stream. We only have one part-time employee, and our volunteers regularly put in over 16,000 hours of service per year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What We Do<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Start collects donations of furniture and home goods from the public and distributes them for free to people in need. To receive furniture, people must obtain a referral from a social service agency. They then have 30 days to come in and work with a personal shopper to help them select their items. We stock just about everything to furnish a household.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
