Come help us get everything ready to turn a house into a home! Prior to delivery of furniture, we meet our clients in their homes, assess their needs, and ask for their wish list including desired colors and styles. We then use this list to select furniture and household items that are then cleaned, tagged and packed for delivery. We start at 7:30am at our storage unit, Armored Self Storage, 14245 S. 48th Street, Phoenix, 85044. A Volunteer Waiver and Confidentiality Agreement must be signed before work can begin. Able-bodied volunteers may be asked to help lift heavy furniture. There are less strenuous volunteer positions as well. Ending time is tentative based on number of families we are packing for, but usually ends by 11:30am.

Mission Statement
Our mission is transforming lives through community, compassion, and essential home furnishings. Everyone should have the comforts of a home.
Description
Furnishing Dignity, an Arizona non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, collects and redistributes donated household furnishings (new and or gently used) to low-income people in need. Our clients are recovering from crises such as homelessness, domestic violence, disability, natural disaster or other traumatic events and are making their way to self-sufficiency. Furnishing Dignity provides a variety of household items, depending on the needs of the client. The most requested items are beds for children who have been sleeping on the floor with little more than a blanket, as well as pots and pans to cook a nutritious meal at home. For a variety of reasons, many lower-income families and individuals have a place to live but need help with their furnishings. We work to cover that gap, with the help of volunteers and donors.
