![]() as I am trying to rebuild my life, I would have an empty house if it wasn't for y'all. I feel like I have a home instead of an empty house. They gave me a referral for your services. I was finally transitioning out of homeless service and I was going to be able to have my own apartment, but I didn't have any furniture at all (I never have), or money to buy my own furniture. ![]() "I was in a homeless shelter with my son since he was 3 months old. Working with social service agencies who provide a client referral, Dallas Furniture Bank provides basic furniture to previously homeless families and others in need, resulting in increased chances for self-sufficiency, higher levels of self-esteem, and long-term stability. Our mission is good for the environment, the economy, and, most importantly, people in need. Simply put, we coordinate the transfer of unwanted, gently used furniture from people who wish to donate, to those who are desperately in need. DFB collects basic household furniture from private households and businesses and stores them in a warehouse for future distribution. Furniture not only fills a house with practical comfort, but also instills a sense of hope and dignity. At Dallas Furniture Bank, we believe that living spaces should be filled. Though many of our agency partners provide housing for those in need, the resource of furniture is not provided to approximately 90% of these families. Dallas Furniture Bank’s program fills the missing gap in the continuum of care for transitional homeless and low-income families.
