Our Mission

We believe that all people deserve to be treated with love, dignity, and kindness.

Central Furniture Rescue provides furniture and household items at no cost to individuals and families who are transitioning out of homelessness and into their own places to live.


A socially and environmentally responsible option

Central Furniture Rescue actively recycles, working with city authorities and private organizations to divert as much waste from landfills as possible. To manage our inventory effectively and sustain our mission, CFR may sell overstock items when necessary.
