Home Again. Two simple words. But establishing a home isn’t always simple. For those in transition from situations of abuse, homelessness, prison or war, for the un- and under-employed or for those with disabilities, the struggle to create a new life is on-going. Part of this struggle involves establishing a home. For those lacking the means or social connections to make that happen, Home Again Furniture Bank can assist.
Home Again Furniture Bank is a nonprofit organization that provides gently-used furniture and household items to individuals and families in need. We work through a referral system of local agencies to help end furniture poverty.
Central to Home Again is a cycle of giving and receiving that provides our most vulnerable citizens the means to create a home. Home Again provides furniture and household items with a focus on generating comfort and dignity to the recipients. Getting a good night’s sleep on a proper bed makes moving forward seem feasible. Having a sofa to relax on with family makes life more enjoyable. Being able to offer family and friends a chair to sit on or a table to gather around brings dignity. Home Again helps to build pride in homes and pride in our community.
Home Again is an eco-friendly organization. Not only does our program help individuals, but we also provide a positive ecological impact as we divert furniture and household items destined for local landfills.
Furniture banks are registered charities, not-for-profit organizations or social enterprises designed to provide gently-used household furnishings to individuals and families in need, at little or no cost.
The movement, which originated in the United States, is now firmly established and continuing to gain momentum in Canada. The basic model involves gently used furniture being donated by people who no longer use it, and transferred to those who are struggling financially to furnish their own homes.
Furniture banks provide some of the most vulnerable citizens the means to create a true home.
