Furniture Bank

The Furniture Bank, a wonderful organization that provides donated furnishings to those transitioning out of homelessness and displacementis, is managed by a team of amazing people and supported by generous and talented volunteers.

Furniture bank is a fabulous group of people helping others in the community. We are currently working with them for an amazing charity event, Chair Affair!

Recently my condominium corporation redecorated three guest suites and I contacted Furniture Bank to remove the furniture and beds. Had we used another disposal company, the furniture and mattresses would likely have gone to land fill. However, Furniture Bank provides picks up for a fee gently used furniture and provides it free of charge to needy clients-women and children fleeing abusive situations, those transitioning from streets to homes or newcomers to Canada. Not only were they efficient, arriving ahead of time, but were friendly, respectful and appreciative of the mattresses in particular. It was a pleasure to work with the call centre staff as well as the drivers. Highly recommend if you are redecorating or downsizing.

Furniture Bank is truly amazing! This organization is a much-needed resource for individuals who are in a period of transition in their lives, whether they're newcomers to Canada, or current residents who need community support to help get them re-established with new furnishings. FB can help their clients to restore their meaning of home because of people who've donated their furniture to people who need it. It's a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN for everyone: The person who donates the furniture gets a tax receipt and knows that they've helped someone, FB wins because they need donations to thrive, the Environment wins because less is going to landfill and the client wins by benefitting from receiving gently-used furnishings at no cost. FB Rocks! Next stop: FB from coast to coast to coast!

We LOVE Furniture Bank! They are such an amazing organization and so great to work with! The way they work to provide furniture to those in need is incredible! We have used them to pick up furniture from client's houses and have also been in their facility while those in need were selecting furniture for their soon to be homes. The entire process is just incredible!

The Furniture Bank is an organization run by people who care about people. My experience of volunteering has been such a positive addition to my life. They provide the feeling of HOME to those who need a helping hand. This in turn provides a sense of pride and accomplishment to those who are struggling to make a change in their lives. Everyone at the Furniture Bank is earnest and honest in their desire to help others.

Furniture Bank is a charitable company that helps to provides a new start for many. They are extremely helpful and kind. It's a win win for people donating their items to the people who in turn get to re-love these items. Highly recommend Donating to this cause!!!

I volunteer with the Furniture bank on a weekly basis helping clients pick out furniture and house goods, and am currently participating in their Chair Affair event. I cannot recommend the Furniture Bank enough as an excellent and first-choice place to donate furniture and house goods. They are connected with dozens of amazing local charities in Toronto who connect those who are in need of furnishings to turn their space into a home with the lovely lovely people who donate their gently used furniture so that others can have a home! I would recommend donating to Furniture Bank if you can't decide what to do with your furniture (you also get a tax receipt that allows you to write off your donation on your taxes), but I would always recommend it as a resource for any friend or family member that might be in need. They are incredibly understanding, great to deal with, and treat each and every client with dignity and respect that comes through the door- regardless of their background or past. Individuals who may have had a very rough every day existence get a personal shopping experience and treated like a valued client- not an object of charity. Donate furniture and house goods, Donate money, and Donate your time. It's incredibly rewarding!

I am currently very honoured and excited to be working along side the Furniture bank for their up coming Chair Affair Event. I was warmly introduced to their members and their was inspired by their line of work. The Furniture Bank's attention to details is seen in the way they work with the community, their focus on their clients and their ability to build strong and positive report with those they serve. I look forward to my continued relationship with Furniture Bank and would have to say anyone not already involved with them is truly missing out. They are a representation of kindness and respect in its highest form.

The Furniture Bank is a wonderful organization. I am very lucky to be involved with the amazing team of people who work and volunteer at The Furniture Bank - all who have a passion for giving back to the community and for helping people to live with dignity. I love The Furniture Bank because it fulfills an essential need in Toronto. This city is an exceptionally expensive city to live in, and by providing furniture and household items to their clients at no cost, The Furniture Bank allows people to live in a furnished home, get a fresh start, and have the essentials needed to make their house a real home. I always advise my clients to donate their previously loved furniture to The Furniture Bank. Truly a brilliant agency, that Toronto is very lucky to have.
