As an organizational member, Furniture Bank is building upon its commitment to drive sustainable change in the community. Furniture Bank’s membership to SVC will enable it to increase its brand and grows its network and partnerships across the country and internationally. SVC is committed to supporting Furniture Bank in promoting the Principles of Social Value, and to build a powerful movement of like-minded people to influence policy and purpose.

About Furniture Bank:

Since 1998, Furniture Bank has been matching unwanted furniture and homewares to individuals and families seeking to create a new home, transitioning out of homelessness or other forms of displacement.

While Furniture Bank clients may have secured affordable housing, these families lack the assets to transform their new housing into a home.

Joining Social Value Canada is a big milestone in Furniture Bank's journey to clearly demonstrate both our social and environmental impacts to Canada! More importantly, joining this community will support improved program decision making, guide future improvements, and communicate clearly with external stakeholder groups

- Dan Kershaw, Executive Director, Furniture Bank
