This small dresser is a perfect example of the reduce, reuse, recycle spirit in action.

Crafted by the Furniture Bank’s own artisan furniture maker, Mike Mack, it began as three separate pieces of furniture that could no longer serve their original purpose. Mike saw possibility where others might see waste, transforming the salvaged wood into a beautiful, functional little masterpiece.

Now, this dresser provides essential storage for one of our clients. Dressers are something we never have enough of so Mike’s craftsmanship helps our mission immeasurably.

One might think that with the effort of starting Love to Move and Love Furnishings that perhaps the Furniture Bank is pulling back on donation pickups and serving client referrals. Definitely not the case...donations remain strong with the team picking up from 10-12 donation sites per week and our clients served to date represent a 26% increase over this time last year. How are we keeping it all together??? Some days not so well...but we keeping moving forward and we get it done. Travis, James and Eddie are doing a fantastic job...so far rave reviews from the Love to Move clients. We are working hard to ensure the sustainability of the Furniture Bank for decades to come! It is all possible with your continued support.

Thank you, Lind Media Company!
A leader in billboard advertising has welcomed the Furniture Bank of North Central Ohio into its public service announcement program—instantly multiplying our visibility across the region.

The more people who learn that we’re here and what we do, the more gently used furniture comes through our doors… and the more families we can serve with security, comfort, and dignity.

Thank you again. We are very grateful.

Last week, the Furniture Bank of North Central Ohio provided furniture for two families who lost everything in catastrophic house fires. The devastation of a fire reaches far beyond the loss of “things.” It takes memories, personal treasures, legal documents, and the sense of safety that makes a house feel like home.

Because of the ongoing housing crisis—and the financial shock that follows a total-loss fire—it took months for these families to secure new housing. But when they finally received their keys, they didn’t walk into an empty space. The Furniture Bank, standing alongside our partners at the American Red Cross, was ready with the essential furniture they needed to begin again.

These pieces are more than furniture. They are reminders that comfort, stability, and dignity can return after crisis.
We are honored to walk with families rebuilding their lives, one home at a time. And we are grateful to be part of a caring Richland County community that shows up when it matters most.

Support your American Red Cross today—because when a family loses everything, community is what helps them start again.

At the Furniture Bank of North Central Ohio we don’t just provide furniture—we provide momentum.
Every couch, table, or bed becomes a tiny engine that helps a family accelerate out of crisis and into stability.
Think about it this way:
• A bed isn’t just a bed—it’s the first night of real rest someone has had in months, which means they can show up to work, school, or court with clarity and confidence.
• A dining table isn’t just a table—it’s the return of routine, the place where families rebuild trust, talk through next steps, and remember they’re still a unit.
• A sofa isn’t just a sofa—it’s the first invitation to breathe, to feel safe, to imagine a future again.
What we do is turn objects into outcomes. So happy to be a part of this momentum.
