The Greater New York Home Furnishings Association (GNYHFA) will kick off a nationwide initiative to help furnish homes for families moving from homeless shelters to new, permanent homes. GNYHFA is asking its members—as well as companies across the nation—to donate excess inventory to Furnish a Future, a program of The Partnership for the Homeless, which distributes home furnishings free to formerly homeless New Yorkers. Tuesday, June 21, GNYHFA will deliver its first major donation through this new collaboration. This includes:
-164 pieces of furniture from MGM Transport, headquartered in Ridgefield, NJ
-178 items of furniture from Klaussner Furniture Industries
-14 items (including sectional sofas) from Natuzzi Soho
MGM Transport is delivering all of the furniture pro bono, with much of the furniture coming from North Carolina. MGM and Cory Companies will transport furnishings donated through GNYHFA. Leaders from New York City’s furniture design and home furnishings industries will be at Furnish a Future’s warehouse and show rooms to help unload two tractor- trailer truckloads of top quality furniture.
Press conference to be held on Tuesday, June 21 10:30 am-11:30 am
