Community Warehouse is a local furniture bank that has served the Portland area for more than 15 years. They collect donated home goods and work with social service agencies to get those goods in the hands of those who need them most.

The stuff you no longer need becomes the solution for a family in need. At Community Warehouse, it’s the simple stuff – the extra dishes, towels, beds, and more – that changes lives.
