FURNITURE ASSIST
Furniture Assist provides free furniture, appliances, and other household items to families and individuals in need, believing everyone deserves a comfortable and dignified living space. It operates through donations and referrals from social service agencies.
Support from the Westfield United Fund helps offset the operational expenses related to Furniture Assist, strengthening its ability to fulfill its mission of providing essential furniture and household items free-of-charge to those in need.
”There are many people who have usable items that they no longer need. Their choice is to donate them or send them to a land-fill.
There are many in need and many social agencies to help them but the agencies do not have room to store items until a client needs them.
Furniture Assist is that storage area. We work with over 100 social agencies who will always have some client who needs what is donated.
Items normally stay at Furniture Assist less than
a week.”
