Turning Empty Houses Into Homes
As of 2023, the Chicago Furniture Bank has furnished over 13,000 homes for over 21,000 people and given away furniture weighing over 6,000 tons. Each home furnished by the Chicago Furniture Bank provides stability, dignity, and comfort to a Chicagoan in need.
HOW WE HELP
We allow clients to handpick the items they want from our showroom based on their style. Each household receives a complete furniture package with beds, couches, dressers, kitchen tables, chairs, lamps, mirrors, artwork, kitchenware, rugs and more. The Chicago Furniture Bank’s services have turned many empty spaces into personal and comfortable homes for our clients who are beginning a new chapter in their lives.
