Partnering with Make it Home
Make It Home was founded in 2020 by Carolyn Rebuffel Flannery, a highly-regarded Bay Area interior designer and foster care advocate. Carolyn had first-hand experience of waste in the design industry, where damaged shipments and “refreshed” furniture often were tossed out, as well as a deep understanding of how youth aging out of foster care could not afford the simplest of furniture and were left to move into empty apartments. Make It Home’s mission is to help Bay Area families and individuals transitioning out of crisis. With the vision of ending furniture poverty while protecting the environment, they recycle, reimagine, and curate gently used, donated furnishings to transform empty spaces into homes.
Join the movement to build a future without waste.
