ORGANIZATION: FOSTER CARE FURNITURE

Image_202404211553

Foster Care Furnitureis a 501 C3 non-profit corportaion. We make furniture for sale and and all proceeds go to the foster care programs. We train youth aging-out of foster care in a FREE training program. As part of their training they assist in making the furniture we sell.

We need help with marketing and sales to enhance our awareness. If no one knows about us, they cannot by our furniture. We beieve there is a sizable foster care community that would rather buy our furniture and help the kids, rather than buying form an out of state manufacturer.

If you have sales and marketing experience and would like to help these kids going through the difficult transition into adulthood, please volunteer and help us help them.
