Grassi Gives Back: New Life Furniture Bank

New Life Furniture Bank of MA is a volunteer-led nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that accepts furniture and household items and makes them available at no charge to those in need through referring agencies. We assist individuals and families who are transitioning out of homelessness, fire survivors, those escaping domestic violence, military veterans and refugees. Regardless of the situation they are striving to overcome, they share a common theme, the need for a new beginning.

By empowering those we serve with the means to furnish their home, we are providing comfort, security and hope as they rebuild their lives. At the same time, we give our donors a meaningful way to recycle their gently used furniture and housewares while keeping these items out of landfills.

On Friday, May 17th, Grassi volunteers will participate in sorting furniture and various items at the new life furniture bank warehouse in addition to helping individuals pick out items for their new homes.

Volunteer Maximum: 10 participants
