Looking for a great hands-on team-building experience? Thanks to generous donations by Sauder Woodworking, volunteers can work together to assemble, sand, and paint kitchen tables and other furniture items from kits. No experience required – we provide the instructions, tools, and safety equipment!

The Furniture Bank can accommodate furniture assembly groups of up to 10 individuals.
