Eradicating relational and national poverty cannot be done alone, which is why we have a network of close and valued partnerships to walk arm in arm with us in this work. ChicagoFurnitureBank accepts furniture donations like tables/chairs, sofas, beds/mattresses, dressers, etc. They also accept kitchenware like pots/pans, plates, etc. If you have lightly or unused furniture to donate, head to Chicago Furniture Bank to help turn a house into a home. #ThatsMyFriend #LetsGetToWork https://lnkd.in/e5cQKGky
