About us
The Chicago Furniture Bank is a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to provide dignity, stability and comfort to Chicagoans that face poverty by allowing clients to handpick an entire home’s worth of furnishings for free. Since opening in 2018, the CFB has grown to the largest furniture bank in the country and will furnish 4,000 homes for 10,000 clients in 2022. We currently furnish 15 homes per day through the referrals of 400 nonprofit partners. The CFB’s sister nonprofit, Honest Junk Company, is the first 501c3 decommission / hauling service in the country and allows the organization to cover the vast majority of its operating budget through earned revenue

Thank you BEDS Plus Care for sharing our Mission and our need for furniture donations! The more furniture we receive, the more clients/community members we can serve. 🛋️ Chicago Furniture Bank: Our Valued Partner in Making a House a Home! 🛋️ At BEDS Plus, we are dedicated to helping our clients feel at home, and we couldn’t do it without the amazing support of our partner, the Chicago Furniture Bank. They provide essential home furnishings to our clients, ensuring that those transitioning from homelessness have a comfortable and welcoming place to call home. However, the Chicago Furniture Bank is currently facing a high demand and is on a 2-month waitlist, including many BEDS clients. To meet this urgent need, they need more furniture donations. How You Can Help: Donate Furniture: Your gently used furniture can help families create a stable and nurturing environment. Schedule a donation today! Your donations help BEDS Plus clients and others in the community feel at home. Donating keeps usable furniture out of landfills, promoting a greener Chicagoland area. 📞 Donate Today: Visit https://lnkd.in/g3J592R or call (312) 752-0211 to learn more and schedule your donation. #ChicagoFurnitureBank #BEDSPlus #DonateFurniture #CommunitySupport #Sustainability #MakeADifference

CHICAGO FURNITURE BANK is 6 years old! Over these 6 years we have served over 18,500 Households, added a sister organization @honestjunkcompany, and moved locations. A lot can change over 6 years, but our mission remains the same. We believe everyone should be able to sleep in a bed, share a family meal at a kitchen table, and enjoy the comfort of a furnished home. We aim to provide dignity, stability and comfort to Chicagoans facing poverty by allowing our clients to handpick an entire home's worth of furnishings for free. Thank you to our partners, donors, volunteers, and everyone who has been part of these 6 years. Our services are still greatly needed and our impact continues to grow. Please continue to support Chicago Furniture Bank and SHARE OUR MISSION. We look forward to seeing what we can accomplish next! #chicagofurniturebank #nonprofit #chicagononprofit #chicago #volunteer #donate #furniturebank #anniversary

🌸 Spring is in the air, and you know what that means - time for some serious spring cleaning! 🌼 But hey, why stop at just tidying up? Let's make a difference this season by decluttering with purpose. 💫 🛋 Say goodbye to that old couch gathering dust in the corner and those chairs that have seen better days. Instead of tossing them out, let's give them a new life.. ♻️ That's where @HonestJunk comes in! ✨ Honest Junk makes decluttering easy and meaningful. They pick up your unwanted furniture and ensure it goes to those who need it most. From families in need to community centers, your donation can make someone's day brighter. ☀️ 💚 #SpringCleaning #DeclutterWithPurpose #GiveBackWithHonestJunk
