Home Again Furniture Bank

Last Thursday night, our 2024 Heads Without Beds leaders spent a night on makeshift beds that Home Again has seen far too often in home across our region. It was an evening filled with camaraderie and reflection. For our leaders, this may have been just one night, but for countless families, it's an ongoing challenge they face daily. This shared experience shed light on the reality of furniture poverty, a struggle that too often goes unseen. Through their efforts, they have raised over $55,000 to fuel Home Again’s mission to bring comfort, dignity, and stability to those in need. Every dollar means fewer makeshift beds and more restful nights for families across our community. We can't thank our leaders enough who are likely feeling not so well rested the morning after sleeping on their "beds" and were able to see how every head deserves a bed. Thank you for your incredible fundraising efforts and your willingness to give up a night’s sleep so others in our community can rest easier!

In just one day, we’ve raised an additional $6,135, bringing us to $43,085 toward our $100,000 goal for #HeadsWithoutBedsLeaders! This progress would not be possible without the generosity of everyone who has donated so far, and of course, our 9 dedicated leaders, who are getting ready to spend one night without a bed tomorrow evening. Their commitment and your support is ensuring that families in our community won’t have to go without the essential furniture they need for a stable and comfortable home. We’re hopeful that we’ll reach our goal, but we still need your help to make it happen. Every donation brings us closer to providing the comfort and stability that so many families are waiting for. Let’s keep the momentum going! Donate today through the link below: https://lnkd.in/gdxMT9fn
