Client Referral Information

Referring agencies are vital partners who help the Furniture Bank turn empty houses into homes. Agency case managers assist by qualifying and sponsoring a client, completing the paperwork, and sometimes paying the delivery fees. The case manager always accompanies her/his client to the Furniture Bank for their furniture selection appointment - to guide their client in selecting the 13-15 pieces of furniture needed most for the client's home and family.
