There is a volunteer group in Austin that works with other agencies to provide furniture for homeless people who are getting back on their feet. Originally, they worked with homeless veterans, but expanded to all homeless people.
Imagine what it is like to go from existing in a car or tent to having a job and a place to live. It is great to cross those hurdles, but what about a bed to sleep in, a table and chairs, as well as pots and pans and dishes. A couple of people in our neighborhood work with this group and constantly remind us that we can donate our gently used household items.
Check to see if there is a similar group in your area and encourage friends and family to donate. It is a great way to make sure these items go directly to the ones who need them.
