Rising from the Storm: Our Furniture Program’s Resilience

By 

Elisa Guyton

Leaky roofs allowed rain to damage this safe haven of hope, forcing us to temporarily halt a program that means so much to our neighbors in the 48189/48197 areas.

Our warehouse is not just any building; it’s where we nurture dreams of a better life. However, it’s endured one storm too many, and now it’s time to repair and fortify it. To cover the costs of necessary repairs, we’re setting our sights on raising the initial $10,000 in our upcoming Giving Tuesday campaign.

Why is this effort so vital, you may wonder? Well, our Furniture Program relies on this very place. It’s where we store furniture, awaiting the moment when we can provide it to someone in need. It’s not just about furniture; it’s about offering hope, comfort, and ensuring a fresh start with free, good quality used furniture.

As we prepare for Giving Tuesday on November 28, we’re thankful to have a special partner standing with us. For every four beds donated, the generous folks at Van Winkle Mattress Co will generously add an extra bed. This is a fantastic opportunity to magnify the impact of your contribution.

Together, we embark on a journey to craft a new chapter for our warehouse, one filled with resilience, hope, and our unwavering commitment to making a difference. Join us on Giving Tuesday and become a part of our story as we work to restore and replenish not just a warehouse, but a symbol of transformation and support for those in need.
