Urgent need for
furniture donations
New Life Furniture Bank, Southwest Ohio’s only nationally registered furniture bank, serving Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Dayton, OH is in critical need of furniture and household donations to furnish an overwhelming number of requests in the new year. New Life Furniture Bank fully furnished over 1300 homes in 2021 and plans to furnish at least 1600 in 2022. In just the month of January, 143 neighbors in need received an entire household of gently used furnishings from New Life, an over 70% increase from January 2021.
New Life Furniture Bank partners with over 50 social and human service agencies that are providing case management services to individuals and families overcoming homelessness, domestic abuse, extreme poverty, and other devastating circumstances. Nearly half of those they served are children. Their mission is to make sure that every child has a warm, safe bed to sleep on, a table to eat at, a sofa to gather, and a place to proudly call home.
