Back to EpisodesJourney Home's Furniture Bank: Transforming Lives
Description
Journey Home, based in West Hartford, Connecticut, operates the states largest furniture bank, providing free furniture to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. Founded by Sara Salomon Wilson, the organization started in her garage and has since grown into a vital resource for the community. The furniture bank serves those who have been unhoused within the last year, offering essentials like beds, tables, and chairs. In February, they opened Home for Good thrift store, selling high-end antiques and vintage items to support the furniture bank. The organizations mission is to help people create stable homes, as seen in the story of Jenneane Chambers and Keith Johnson, who received gold recliners and are transforming their apartment with Journey Homes assistance.
