what is the furniture bank?The Furniture Bank provides an integrated furniture pick up and distribution system that offers support to people in need of furniture through partnership between service providers. The Habitat ReStore handles all donated furniture, which is either sold to fund Habitat housing programs or given to Furniture Bank clients.
