Furniture Bank Metro Atlanta

The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta’s mission is to create stability for families and individuals in need by distributing donated furniture to turn their houses into homes. Each year we furnish homes for more than 1,700 families moving out of homelessness, poverty, domestic violence, or crises like fires and floods, and through Routes to Reentry we provide paid job training for formerly incarcerated individuals.

Founded in 1988, the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta is the only agency in Atlanta whose mission is dedicated to providing essential household furniture to individuals and families in need, creating stability by turning their houses into homes. Working with more than 200 partner agencies, we furnish homes for more than 1,700 families each year, including about 2,000 children, who are moving out of homelessness, living below the poverty line, fleeing domestic violence, or recovering from crises such as fires and floods. Each household receives an average of 14 essential pieces, including a bed for every family member, so no child has to sleep on the floor.

Through our Routes to Reentry program, formerly incarcerated individuals complete ten weeks of paid, on-the-job training in our warehouse and on our delivery trucks, building a pathway to stable employment.
