FURNITURE MATTERS

DECEMBER 2022

At Home Again, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the number of furniture requests, deliveries and pick-ups. In 2022, every other month brings 50+ new furniture requests. This is in stark contrast to the three years prior with only one month at this shockingly high number. 

Inevitably, the increased demand for our service is placing a considerable strain on our resources. With your support, Home Again’s volunteer teams can respond to the increased demand and continue to deliver life-changing furniture.

Donate today and double your impact thanks to our matching funds partner, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro.

As the year comes to an end, we want to thank everyone who has supported Home Again, and send our best wishes for a warm, comfortable and joyous season.

Before we close out 2022, we are asking our community to be there once again for our neighbours who, tonight, will sleep on the floor and eat from their lap or kitchen counter.

When speaking with Leanna* a few months ago, she shared:

"When I received the furniture, I had more time to focus on my health instead of where I was going to sleep each night... and now with consistent support from my doctor, I have the right support so my physical and mental health has improved." 

This young woman had been shuffled between 17 foster homes before ending up homeless and couch surfing. Although she didn’t feel safe or happy, Leanna’s anxiety about living in an empty, unfurnished house prevented her from finding housing.

We're so grateful to the Hydro team for the various forms of ongoing support they've shown Home Again, and we're thrilled to have them join as our matching funds partner to help bring comfort and joy this holiday season to those who need it most.

Yes! I want to bring double the comfort & joy this holiday season.
