Mission Statement

Life is better when a house is a home. Home is at the center of every person’s well-being and livelihood. We believe there are enough beds, blankets, pots and pans, and furnishings circulating in our community for everyone. Our furniture bank mission is to connect these furnishings to our neighbors in need, creating stronger home foundations and brighter futures.

Community Warehouse is Portland's only non-profit furniture bank. We receive donations of gently used furniture and household items, and redistribute them to neighbors in need in our community.
