Meijer Family Spotlight
April 2024
Welcome to our Meijer Family Spotlight Series, where we’ll feature just a few of the 2,300 families we’re providing with beds and furniture each year.
Each family who is featured will receive a $250 Meijer gift card… and we thank Meijer for their generous support of the Furniture Bank and the families we serve!
Cara’s Family
Earlier this year, we received a referral from the Community Housing Network that Cara and her kids were living without any of the basics that make a house a home; where the family can a share a meal or get a good night’s sleep.
The Furniture Bank provided Cara and her family with the furniture they needed to get back on their feet including a couch, new bed, dresser, night stands, lamps and household items.
Cara and her 3 children have recently transitioned out of homelessness.
“Now that our home is complete, I can finally exhale,” – Cara
The Furniture Bank team and our supporters have turned thousands of empty houses into personal and comfortable homes for families like Cara’s who are beginning a new chapter in their lives.
