furniture Donations: Help Turn Houses Into Homes
That dresser collecting dust in the basement… The dining set your family no longer uses… The extra lamps, artwork and household items taking up space. What may no longer fit your home could help transform someone else’s.
At DIGS, we furnish homes for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness, including veterans, domestic violence survivors, families rebuilding after crisis and individuals in recovery. Every donated item helps turn an empty space into a warm, welcoming home filled with dignity, comfort and hope. Together with our volunteers, designers and community partners, we thoughtfully furnish homes to provide stability and a fresh start for Chicago families.
