Overstock.com, Inc., an e-commerce home furnishings retailer, announces its charitable partnership with Mercy Housing, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing affordable homes to individuals and families with low incomes nationwide. As part of the partnership, Overstock commits to provide support, product donations, and employee volunteer opportunities, and to facilitate customer donations on Overstock’s website.

Mercy Housing is committed to providing homes and improving residents’ health and wellness, education, financial stability, and community engagement. Since it was founded in 1981, Mercy Housing has built strong communities and created opportunities for residents to thrive, find stability, and establish homes. Today, it owns and manages over 24,000 affordable apartment homes at 340+ properties throughout the U.S. These locations support the effort to create more stable, affordable, and healthy communities for underserved populations across the country.

“Mercy Housing’s mission is to give every person access to one of the most basic and important needs – a comfortable, affordable, and long-term home. This aligns perfectly with our vision of creating Dream Homes for All,” said Jonathan Johnson, CEO of Overstock. “Since we’re passionate about the home, we’re thrilled to work closely with Mercy Housing to change lives in a way that’s personal to us.”

“It takes partners like Overstock to realize our vision of providing quality housing and positively impacting the lives of residents,” said Ismael Guerrero, President and CEO of Mercy Housing. “We are grateful for Overstock’s belief in our mission to strengthen families through affordable housing and resident services. Mercy Housing is excited about our relationship with Overstock as we work to build better communities for all.”

At a local level, Overstock is collaborating with the Mercy Housing location near its Salt Lake City headquarters. Overstock will be providing fundraising, furnishings, and volunteers, and supporting Mercy Housing’s out-of-school program. This program offers residents up to the age of 18 activities and access to social and educational resources and support.

Overstock encourages customer donations to Mercy Housing through a donation option on the check-out page of Overstock’s website.
