Great experience! I volunteered here with my coworkers for our volunteer day, and we had a wonderful time. The staff split us into groups and showed us how to sand, stain, paint, and upholster furniture. They shared that the furniture is often re-homed to new refugee families, young adults aging out of the foster care system, and other individuals in need of furniture. This was a great chance to use our hands and make a tangible impact for our community. Will be going back!

I had the pleasure of attending a corporate volunteering event, and it was an incredible experience. The effort and creativity this team poured into organizing it were truly impressive. In just three hours, we managed to restore multiple items, which was not only deeply satisfying but also made the entire workshop feel incredibly rewarding. Kudos to everyone involved for such a thoughtful and impactful initiative!

Went there as part of an event that my team had organized. It was such a fun and learning experience overall. The environment was very welcoming, clean and equipped with all the basic necessities to repair furniture! The people managing the place were very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining what to do and how to do! More importantly, it was great to learn about the overall program and how they make a difference in so many people's lives!
