Parish of the Ascension - Reaching Out To Others
Home - Heads Without Beds: Leaders Edition
St. Philips Anglican Church
Description: Non-profit Organization that provides gently-used furniture and household items to individuals and families in need.
Each week, Home Again delivers beds, sofas, tables and other essentials to people who had been sleeping on floors or eating from cardboard box tables. Adam, who has cerebral palsy, had tears of joy when he described receiving a bed after months of discomfort and interrupted sleep on the floor. “I would not want anybody to go through what I had to go through...I am so grateful to [Home Again] for helping me to get a bed and get my life back on track... It’s made a huge difference in my life.”
Home Again Furniture Bank transforms homes and lives, like Adam’s, every single week. We do this at absolutely no cost to the recipient because we believe everyone deserves the comfort, dignity and stability of a well-furnished home. As the only furniture bank in the region, Home Again provides a unique and essential service, delivering comfort, stability, security and hope to our vulnerable neighbours.
Each year, hundreds of homes, and lives, are transformed by the free delivery of furniture. One single mother shared “ My daughter was immediately overjoyed at having a real bed and a desk to do her homework!... I feel like we are much better equipped now to begin the process of healing and hopefully thriving as a family. (My daughter wanted me to add that maybe now she can also invite friends over!) Thank you for your contributions to our new home.”
