Friends Trivia Night: A Night of Laughter, Love, and Friendly Competition!
On Galantines day and Valentines Day, Central Furniture Rescue transformed into “Central Perk” for a night of Friends-themed fun, and it was an evening to remember! Fans of the beloved sitcom gathered for a spirited trivia competition, testing their knowledge of Ross’s paleontology facts, Joey’s favorite food (pizza, of course!), and Monica’s ultra-competitive nature.
The walls of our facility echoed with laughter, love, and just the right amount of friendly competition. Teams went head-to-head, answering questions, reliving classic Friends moments, and celebrating their favorite show—all while supporting the mission of Central Furniture Rescue.
This incredible night wouldn’t have been possible without our generous sponsors. A huge thank you to:
- David Maier – Our “I’ll Be There for You” sponsor
- Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust
- Capo Italian Beef
- Via Sophia
- Pita’z Mediterranean and American Cuisine
- Cheesy Noodle Macs and Snacks
- Shawnie Cakes
- Sweet Cheesecake
Your support helped make this event a success, and we are so grateful! Every laugh, every correct (and incorrect) answer, and every slice of delicious food brought us closer together as a community.
Whether you knew every Friends reference or just came for the fun, we appreciate everyone who joined us for this fantastic night. We can’t wait to see you at our next event—stay tuned for more exciting ways to support Central Furniture Rescue!
What we do
We collect basic furniture and household items to provide to those transitioning from homelessness into their own homes.
You can help us accomplish our mission by donating money and volunteering your time and talents.
We receive donations of basic furniture and household items, rescuing them from being sent to the landfill. Then we deliver the beds, dressers, kitchenware, etc. to our clients according to their needs, at no cost, to help turn a house into a home.
We receive client referrals from the area homeless and women’s shelters (See Our Partners page for more infomation). Our clients have worked very hard to overcome homelessness and are moving into their own housing.
