Client Impact: Marlene's Story

A Furniture Bank Impact Story

Marlene*, one of our lovely clients shares just how appreciative she is for the furniture and the volunteer support she received onsite last week. Marlene left Furniture Bank that day with a mattress to sleep on, a loveseat, arm chair and many other household items to help transform her house into a home.

She wrote this beautiful letter to her showroom guide volunteers who helped her select furniture and housewares items and had this to say about her shopping experience.

*Names have been changed to protect client’s privacy.

Dive into more impact stories like this one and let's continue this journey of transformation together.
