Fourteen years ago, Find began with a simple yet powerful mission: to furnish homes for individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness. What started as an initiative to provide essential household items has grown into a movement of hope, dignity, and fresh starts. Today, we celebrate not only our anniversary, but the incredible community that has made this work possible.
A home is more than just four walls and a roof—it is a place of comfort, stability and belonging. For those moving out of homelessness, the transition can be overwhelming, and furnishing an empty space can feel like an impossible hurdle. A bed to sleep in, a dining table to share meals and a cozy couch to relax on are more than just furniture; they are symbols of security and a foundation for a new chapter in life.
Find's impact over the last 14 years would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community. Homeward Trust, community agencies, donors, partners, governments and local organizations have come together to provide furniture, funding, and hands-on assistance, ensuring that every home we furnish is filled with warmth and care.
Every donation, big or small, has helped create spaces that people can truly call HOME. Every partnership formed has strengthened our ability to reach more individuals in need. This is the power of community in action.
One of the key drivers behind Find's success has been our community partnerships. By working closely with shelters, agencies and housing programs, we can ensure that those in need receive, not just a place to live, but a fully furnished and welcoming home. Our partners and local businesses have also played a crucial role, contributing funds, in-kind donations and time to support our goal of ending homelessness.
Together, we have proven that when people and organizations unite for a common cause, the impact is far-reaching. It is this collaboration that allows us to continue growing and serving more people each year.
As we celebrate 14 years of furnishing hope, we are filled with gratitude for everyone who has been part of our journey. But our work is far from over. The need for safe, furnished homes remains, and we are committed to expanding our reach, strengthening our partnerships and deepening our impact.
To all who have supported Find—whether by donating furniture, shopping our stores or spreading the word—we thank you. Your kindness and generosity are changing lives, one home at a time.
Here’s to many more years of making a difference together!
