The installation process begins with us receiving client referrals from our partner agencies. We then contact the client to schedule a home visit in their new residence. During the home visit we are able to determine the clients overall needs. Following the home visit, we schedule a furniture installation date at which time we return to the residence with a team of caring and dedicated volunteers, who help transform the empty residence into a fully furnished home. We do not just provide a chair, a sofa, or a table. We completely furnish an entire residence including providing cookware, dishware, utensils, small kitchen appliances, linen, towels, shower curtains and other home decor items. Furniture used in the transformations are donated from private donors and companies. Repurposing and reusing items is very important to us and for our environment.
