The Houston Furniture Bank was hit by a devastating fire Saturday morning August 8th. We lost our building and everything in it. You can assist by donating today. Community support has been amazing over the past 25 years, but the Houston Furniture Bank needs your help now. We have been furnishing 150 homes and apartments monthly working with over 80 local non-profits and agencies, supporting families in need that receive housing assistance, but do not receive furniture. Thank you for your continued support, Hal Lynde, HFB Board Chairman
