Our 2024 Mindset: Homing, Hope, and Humanity
The world is broken, but heading into 2024, we at Furniture Bank are committed to doing our part to fix it. The sight of empty housing, children without beds, and families without the comfort of a furnished homes drives us to act. We have been on this journey for over a decade trying to help more families better – creating more capacity to get more families up off the floor.
Looking ahead, our mission is crystal clear: empty housing must become a thing of the past. This year is all about putting our values to work. We are announcing several new programs that will take every unwanted piece of furniture from households and businesses and make sure it finds a new home, a new story. It’s not just about the physical items; it’s about what they represent—a community that takes care of its own and builds a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive in furnished homes.
A Call to Action: Furnishing Second
We believe in a Housing First, Furnishing Second philosophy. We’re ready to roll up our sleeves and work with partners who share our vision. Let’s connect if you’re a corporation, a local business, or someone who simply wants to make a difference. Together, we can turn houses into homes. Let’s connect to support this new location and the many locations we need to end furniture poverty in our community.
The Future Is Furnished
In closing, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who’s been part of our journey. Your support, donations, buying social, time, advice and support have brought us to this exciting new frontier. The opening of our East Toronto location is not just an expansion; it’s a testament to what we can achieve together.
Let’s continue to build a future where furniture poverty is a thing of the past, and every home is a sanctuary of hope.
With warm regards
