The primary mission of the Cleveland Furniture Bank is to provide hope to individuals and families who are trying to restart their lives by helping them turn a house into a home and a more stable place to live by providing such basic furnishings as a bed to sleep in, a table to eat at and a couch or chair to sit on.

The Cleveland Furniture Bank works in collaboration with more than 225 secular, faith based and social service agencies in Northeast Ohio. These agencies serve a broad range of needs and refer over 400 families each month to the bank.
