The Furniture Project

The Furniture Project is a ministry of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church dedicated to furnishing housing for families and individuals recovering from homelessness, incarceration, or other volatile living arrangements.  Parish volunteers collect donated furniture and household goods for later delivery to those who have secured housing but have no means to furnish the space to make it a true home.  We serve anyone in Durham who meets this need, without regard to their creed or identity.

The Furniture Project helps furnish upward of 50 homes each year, meeting a range of needs from simple replacement of furniture, to complete furnishing of couches, tables, beds, dressers, and cookware.  All donations are provided completely free, as well as delivered and arranged entirely for free by volunteers.

Examples of how your donation can benefit The Furniture Project:

$20 - basic housewares such as dishes, flatware, cups

$50 - basic cookware such as pots and pans
$80 - lightly used couch
$100 - lightly used mattress or box spring
$150 - a month of storage for donated furniture

If you wish to make a donation to only THIS ORGANIZATION, we accept cash, credit cards, or you may write one check directly to “Immaculate Conception” with “Furniture Project” in the memo line and return it at the Gift Fair.

If you would like to write ONE check but make donations to MULTIPLE ORGANIZATIONS, use the form to select the organizations, specify the amounts for each organization, and the number of cards from each organization, and write one check to Immaculate Conception.
