Your involvement changes lives
Become a volunteer to help bring comfort and dignity to those in need
Helping others is not only the right thing to do, it also feels great! Our volunteers tell us “It was the most meaningful work I’ve ever done in my life.” They are the very heart of Home Again. Their involvement means hundreds of homes, and lives, are transformed each year. We are proud to have worked with more than 300 dedicated and passionate individuals and are happy to welcome new volunteers.
Home Again’s volunteers, and their roles, are as diverse as our clients. Whether it’s for one hour a month or one day a week, your contribution makes a difference. Whatever your interest, there is a role for you in ending regional furniture poverty.

When your workplace, service club, faith community, family or group of friends sponsors a delivery day, you’re ensuring another 10+ households will be furnished. Your group can choose to sponsor by joining Home Again for an amazing team building experience or directly sponsor a delivery day.
A volunteer from a corporate sponsored delivery day shared, “On a monthly basis, my coworkers and I have been volunteering a few hours of our time to pick up donated furniture and distribute these essential items to community members in need. Being able to give back to the community that has been so warm to my family in this small way is wonderful. I am thankful to Schlumberger for allowing its employees the time and encouraging us to support our neighbours. The impacts of recent global events could, if we allow them, weaken our sense of community and it is wonderful to counter that through safe and positive acts of coming together simply to help. In my short time working with Home Again Furniture Bank it seems clear to me that these small acts of kindness fill the hearts of the volunteers and donors as much as the tables, chairs and beds fill the rooms of those we set out to aid.” - Corporate Volunteer
“Thanks to the selfless efforts of the team at Home Again, individuals and organizations have an opportunity to give back in the communities we live and work in. Seeing the joy and gratitude in the faces of people less fortunate, upon their receiving of a bed, side table or couch, the things many of us take for granted every day, is truly humbling.” - Corporate Volunteer

Participants raise funds and awareness among their networks to go one night without their bed so others in our region won’t have to. Together, we can end furniture poverty.
To become more sustainable and ensure the growing need for Home Again's service continues, we have opened the doors to our first social enterprise endeavour in the form of a furniture and decor thrift store, selling furniture that is not suitable for, or requested by, clients who are referred to us; furniture that would otherwise have to be refused - until now! Again & Again is located at 25 Hebron Way, St. John's.
