Partnering with The Habitat for Humanity ReStores

Partnering with Community Warehouse
Community Warehouse is your local furniture bank. For over 24 years, they’ve collected and delivered household furnishings to individuals and families overcoming adversity. Clients include people transitioning from homelessness, survivors of domestic violence, refugees and immigrants, veterans, and others recovering from crisis. Community Warehouse provides essential items for a safe and healthy home, like a bed to sleep on and a table to share meals at. These basics offer comfort, dignity, and play a vital role in establishing and maintaining housing stability. Items donated by Ridwell members will help support Community Warehouse's outreach efforts.
