Bridging the Transportation Gap

A significant barrier we face is transportation. Many of the families we serve lack access to trucks or vans, making it difficult for them to pick up the furniture we provide. As a result, about 30% of appointments are canceled because transportation arrangements fall through, leaving homes unfurnished for weeks or even months.

Transportation issues also impact donations. We rely on donors to deliver furniture or wait weeks for a pickup. Unfortunately, some generous offers fall through because donors can’t hold onto items for that long.

Help us Deliver Home

To address these challenges, we're launching the "Delivering Home" campaign to raise $15,000 for a moving van. These funds will allow us to:

​

  • Increase deliveries to families, helping them establish a sense of dignity and stability.

  • Reduce our donor pickup waitlist, ensuring less donation’s are lost.

  • Maintain, insure, and fuel the van to keep this vital work going.

A note from our Director

"This moving van has been made available to us for an incredibly reasonable price by our friends and generous supporters at Ralph’s Towing. Beyond just providing the vehicle, they are committed to helping us keep her on the road by assisting with maintenance and allowing us to use it while we raise the funds to finalize the purchase. This is an incredible opportunity for us and I greatly appreciate your support in making it happen. I can’t wait to say yes to more delivery and pickup requests because of our partnership and the generous donation you have provided." ~Alicia Hamilton

“Thank you Fresh Start Furnishings. Because of you, I finally have a cozy place to call home! It’s hard making ends meet right now and saving for big purchases is nearly impossible. That’s why I’m so grateful for your program. You made it possible for me to get the items I needed without breaking the bank, which means I can spend that money on other important bills.  It’s amazing how these new pieces lifted my spirits and gave me hope to keep going.”

“My family and I couldn't be more grateful for the wonderful furniture and items we

received! It's such a weight lifted off of our shoulders to not have to worry about how we're going to furnish our home for our

children and family. The volunteers who assisted were so kind and helpful. They're the ones that make the experience extra special! Thank you fresh start for making our house a home and for all the lovely furnishings  we couldn't be more grateful and blessed.”
