Scarborough Furniture Bank

The Scarborough Furniture Bank, an initiative by the Scarborough Centre for Healthy Communities (SCHC), stands as a beacon of hope for individuals and families in need, aiming to transform their living spaces into comfortable homes. Here’s how the program operates and supports the community:

Accessing the Furniture Bank: Individuals seeking assistance from the Furniture Bank must first be referred by one of SCHC’s esteemed partner organizations. However, for those not connected to a housing help provider, reaching out directly to the Furniture Bank Team is an option for guidance and information on accessing the program.

Locations and Appointment-Based Service: The Furniture Bank operates from two convenient locations in Scarborough: 629 Markham Rd, Unit 2, and 1960 Ellesmere Rd, Unit 5. Furniture selection appointments are available on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The quantity of furniture available for selection is determined by factors such as family size and home dimensions.

Donating Furniture: The Furniture Bank graciously accepts donations of gently used furniture, but donations are accepted by appointment only. Individuals interested in donating or dropping off items can easily schedule an appointment by contacting the Social Support Coordinator at 416-847-4142 or via email at [email protected].

Becoming a Referring Partner: Organizations passionate about making a difference in the community can explore opportunities to become referring partners with the Scarborough Furniture Bank. Those interested can connect with the Social Support Coordinator at 416-847-4142 to discuss potential partnerships and collaborations.

At the heart of the Scarborough Furniture Bank lies a commitment to uplifting and empowering individuals and families in need, ensuring they have the essential furnishings to create a sense of warmth and belonging in their homes. Through collaborative efforts and unwavering support from the community, the Furniture Bank continues to make a meaningful impact in Scarborough, enriching lives and fostering a sense of hope for a brighter tomorrow.
