How We Started….

While volunteering at Twin Lakes Food Bank, I learned that many of our clients have needs beyond food and clothing. There are many families in our area who have been homeless and finally get shelter, but sleep and eat on the floor because they have no way to obtain even basic furniture.

Battered women frequently find themselves finally out of their violent environment, but with seemingly no way to furnish a home.

Beds, tables and chairs, dressers, sofas, and cribs can be the beginning of a new life with self-respect. Basic furnishings can turn a shelter into a home, providing comfort, security, and self respect.

At the same time, many more fortunate families have quality furniture that they no longer need and would welcome a way to put it to good use.

Why not connect the source with the need?

How We Work…

Furniture for Families (FFF) is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. Our mission is simple:  To provide children and families with beds to sleep on, a table to eat and study at, and perhaps a dresser to put their things in.

As a furniture bank we solicit and pick up good, serviceable used furniture (no stained or damaged pieces) on an appointment basis from the El Dorado Hills, Folsom, and Rancho Cordova areas.  The furniture is stored at our facility for distribution, free of charge to our clients (over half are children).

All clients must be screened by a local approved service agency and referred by a caseworker familiar with their specific needs.  FFF provides the furniture to the client by appointment.

The goal of FFF is to redistribute safe, clean, functional furniture, in a professional, dignified manner, from those who want to share to those who are truly in need, free of charge.

Since we opened our doors in May 2001, FFF has given away over 13,500 pieces of furniture to more than 1,500 families.
