Looking to roll up your sleeves for your community? We need volunteers to paint the unfinished edges of the furniture we build in our woodshop! No woodworking or tool experience needed; we provide instructions and all necessary equipment.
Regular volunteers are needed Wednesday mornings as they are dedicated to building dressers, and the unfinished edges need to be painted before they are sent to the homes of families in need. We serve approximately 23 families a day, and dressers are one of our most popular items selected. Our woodshop is a vital source to keep up with the need families have for furniture.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Furniture Bank of Central Ohio is to provide a free furniture for individuals and families struggling with poverty and other severe life challenges - "Turning Empty Houses Into Homes." The organization was originally "Material Assistance Providers" from 1998-2006, and "MAP Furniture Bank" from 2006-2009.
Description
We collect gently used furniture, appliances and household items, and distribute them free of charge to families trying to move out of difficult situations, which without help, can be emotionally and financially overwhelming.
