What We Do
Help with Furnishings:
We help people who are transitioning out of homelessness by providing them with furniture and household items. Recipients are referred to us by several agencies that help them obtain housing in Tempe, Arizona or just outside the Tempe borders.
Through donations and hard working volunteers we keep our storage units stocked with furniture and household items. Recipients meet us at our storage units where they select items for their new apartments. We then deliver these items and help our recipients to set up their new homes.
Deliver Food to People in Need:
Our Mobile Food Pantry operates 7 days a week, helping many individuals and families in need. Each night at 8:30 pm, volunteers pick-up donated food from Target. Typical items include: bread, produce and canned goods as well as cleaning products, diapers, formula and toilet paper. The items are then distributed to several locations in the east valley to approximately 150 people each week.

If you have items to donate, contact us at furnishinghope@cox.net or 623-455-5050 to arrange a pick up. We can pick up items in Tempe and surrounding areas and supply a tax receipt. We are always looking for the following donations:
