Appreciation

Last weekend the Furniture Bank hosted the first volunteer appreciation event. It was exciting to think about all the volunteers we've had help us throughout the last year. We've had groups that worked on building projects like building bases for our table tops, groups that have cleaned our warehouse each month, groups that have hosted Furniture Drives, individuals that work one on one with our clients, volunteer on our trucks and volunteers that have completed projects like creating a new brochure for us, among other things. We even recently had someone call us and express interest in developing a database that we've needed for quite sometime.

When I think about all the volunteer hours people have completed I am amazed. As a small non-profit we really couldn't continue what we do without volunteers.

Over the last month we've had to rely on volunteers in a new and essential way. Each day we need at least one volunteer to work on our donation trucks. Since we've had to discontinue two donation crew paid positions it's essential that we get volunteers or else we can't keep collecting enough furniture to serve our clients.

There aren't enough words for the gratitude we have for all the volunteer help we receive.
