Celebrating National Volunteer Month: Thank You to Our Volunteers

“I’ve been volunteering with the Furniture Project for over two years, alongside the great staff and many dedicated volunteers. … I love being able to repurpose donations into a warm, welcome home for the people we serve through over 150 different community organizations.”

Michele, Volunteer Sorter/Shopper

April marks National Volunteer Month, a time to recognize and honor the incredible contributions of volunteers who selflessly give their time to make a positive impact. At The Furniture Project, we are deeply grateful for the volunteers who help us towards achieving our mission to deliver furniture, housewares and hope into the homes of our neighbors during their time of need. Every day, their dedication helps transform houses into homes for people across the Omaha metro experiencing a time of transition.

Our volunteers play an essential role in ensuring that the gently used furniture we receive reaches those who need it most. From sorting donations and warehouse support to providing a friendly face to clients in our office, each volunteer is an integral part of our mission. Without their hard work and generosity, we simply could not do what we do.

Volunteering at The Furniture Project is the most rewarding “job” I’ve ever had. The passion and desire the staff and volunteers have to provide furniture and other home goods to families in need is so rewarding. The Furniture Project is a wonderful organization and I’m so proud to be a part of their mission.
— Mike, Warehouse Assistant

The impact of volunteering goes far beyond the immediate assistance we provide. Volunteers also build a sense of community, showing kindness, compassion, and solidarity in a world that often feels disconnected. Every volunteer who gives their time and energy is not only helping our neighbors but also strengthening the social fabric of our community.

This National Volunteer Month, we want to extend a warm ‘thank you’ to each volunteer who has contributed to our work. Your time and effort are invaluable to The Furniture Project, and we are continually inspired by your generosity.

If you’re looking to make a difference, we invite you to join our volunteer team. Whether you have a few hours on your own, or with a larger group, your support can help us create a lasting impact. Visit our Volunteer page to learn more about how you can volunteer and help us bring furniture to those who need it.
