Home Makers of Hope needs your help in delivering furniture to families who are sleeping on the floor and have nothing! On Tuesdays and Thursdays teams load furniture at our warehouse in Ybor City and deliver and set up their homes across Hillsborough County. Volunteers may provide their own transportation from the warehouse to those locations or may "buddy-up" with other volunteers.

On most Saturday mornings and certain Wednesdays, Home Makers of Hope, Inc. sends out its trucks to pick up scheduled furniture donations. These furniture items are stored in a warehouse in Ybor City and are used to equip the homes of our community's needy who have very little to nothing! The truck drivers need 2 volunteers to help them load and unload that furniture. Hours vary but usually start at 9:00am and are finished in the early afternoon. This occurs year round but summertime is very helpful in accumulating the entire school year's needed service hours in just a few weeks!! Riders must be 18 years or older, unless accompanied by a parent.

Home Makers of Hope, Inc is a nonprofit that provides free donated furniture and household items to families and individuals in need within Hillsborough County. Home Makers has several box trucks used to deliver these items but desperately needs volunteer drivers. No CDL required, but experience with driving 16'-18' ft box trucks preferred. Additional training can be provided and auto and liability insurance provided while driving our trucks. As part of a team, these drivers also help with loading, unloading and assembling the furniture delivered to the families and individuals. All teams gather at the Gulf Eagle warehouse in Ybor City. Drivers may choose to help occasionally, alternate weeks or weekly. The Tuesday Team delivers to the south Tampa area and the Thursday team to the eastern part of the county. Hours vary a little but are usually 9:30-2:30 on Tuesdays and 10:30-3:30 for Thursdays. Additional drivers and ride-alongs are needed to conduct furniture pick ups on various Saturdays in the above areas.

It's like playing Santa every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and select Saturdays!! Home Makers of Hope accepts gently used furniture and then delivers it to families and individuals who could be sleeping on the floor! Families and individuals are sent to us already pre-screened by our community's social service and faith-based agencies so that we can try to meet their furniture and household needs. This is a completely volunteer group, requiring just a few hours each week! Those few hours totally can change the lives of so many people. Each MONDAY,TUESDAY and THURSDAY from 9:00 to 2:00 (or later) volunteers gather at the east end of Gulf Eagle Supply warehouse in Ybor City for a variety of tasks: driving box trucks, sorting through household donations; loading and unloading furniture from box trucks; delivering and setting up furniture to families and individuals. Saturday teams are also a possibility. On SATURDAYS and some WEDNESDAYS from 8:30 AM to early-afternoon, furniture donations are picked up from throughout the County and delivered to our warehouse. Volunteers also help with gathering and entering records, seeking additional donations, visiting the families in advance to ascertain space and furniture needs, scheduling pick ups, etc. There is a role for everyone!
