Supporting North Carolina's Triad Area
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower young adults aging out of foster care by
providing them with home furnishings and essentials that promote stability and
independence. We believe that every young person deserves a safe and supportive environment as they transition into adulthood. We aim to create beautiful and comfortable homes that inspire a sense of dignity and belonging for those who need it most.
Our Vision
Our vision is a community where every young adult aging out of foster
care has access to safe and stable housing equipped with the essential furnishings they need to thrive. We envision a future where the cycle of homelessness is broken, and every individual has the opportunity to build a fulfilling life. Central to our mission is the belief that those we serve will one day give back to the community that supported them, volunteering their time and talents to uplift others in similar circumstances.
By fostering resilience, promoting self-sufficiency, and encouraging a spirit of giving, we aim to create a society where all young people are empowered to reach their full potential, contributing to a vibrant and inclusive community for generations to come.
What We Do
We collect and coordinate both purchased and donated items, ensuring that
each recipient receives the furnishings they need to fully function in their living space. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to gather a variety of essentials, including furniture, home décor, and household necessities.

How We Do It
Once we have collected the items, our team of volunteers deliver and set up the furnishings in the homes of those we serve. We believe that a well-decorated space can uplift spirits and foster a sense of belonging. Our volunteers not only deliver the items but also assist in arranging and decorating the space according to the recipient's preferences, creating an inviting and functional environment.
