Community Warehouse
Mission
The mission of Community Warehouse is to provide donated furniture and household items to neighbors seeking the comfort and dignity of a furnished home while overcoming adversity.
Bottom Line for Portland
For 23 years, Community Warehouse has been Portland Metro’s only furniture bank. We accept donated furniture and household items from the community and with the help of 160+ social service partner organizations, we redistribute them to neighbors who need furniture. Together, we can ALL turn empty spaces into comfy homes for over 5,500 people each year
