We are the only furniture bank south of Tualitin and north of Sacramento. Furniture Share is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1998, in Corvallis to serve the greater Willamette Valley.
We accept furniture and household-item donations from the community and distribute them back to residents in need. All donations must pass a health and safety inspection to ensure no additional hardship on our clients from broken or contaminated items.
Clients are referred from 100+ local government, veteran, religious, and nonprofit organizations. These individuals live across the Willamette Valley, but the majority are residents of Corvallis and Albany.
With a fully funded $400,000 annual budget, we can support the needs of more than 5,000 individuals referred to us every year!

This program aims to address the growing problem of child homelessness and poverty by providing beds and bed sets to families who cannot afford them.
The BEDS for KIDS program offers a variety of bed sizes, including twin, full, queen, and bunk beds, to accommodate children of all ages and living situations. Each bed comes with a mattress and bedding set, ensuring that children have a comfortable and hygienic sleeping environment.
In addition to providing beds, the program also offers dining tables to eat healthy meals together and home office items to help families improve their ability to work or study from home.

Furniture Share's Feeding Our Future Program provides healthy food boxes to families and individuals in need. Food boxes filled with healthy fruits, vegetables, and meats are available for delivery or a scheduled pick-up. We also provide dining tables with chairs, simple recipes with 5 items or less, conversational starter tips to encourage healthy meals, and easy mealtime steps to improve health and family conversations.
Many parents want to connect with their children but don't know how, so we are giving them this tool that will help them talk and be engaged with their children during mealtimes. These conversation starters are open-ended questions to get their children talking. Young children who participate in family meals have increased vocabulary and reading skills. This project is designed to improve health, education, and family stability along with a better performance at school, the workplace, and the community.
This project helps to increase healthier eating habits, helps give children the ability to do well in school, and increases vocabulary. In addition to these outcomes, teenagers who eat dinner with their parents frequently are less likely to smoke cigarettes or marijuana and less likely to consume alcohol.
Families in need of receiving food boxes, dinner tables, and beds can be referred through other partnering agencies such as Human Services, Parent Enhancement Program, Domestic Violence, and Homeless shelters. Furniture Share partners with many social service agencies to help families and individuals reach their goal of becoming self-sufficient.

The program is committed to providing inclusive and culturally sensitive services that address the unique needs of each individual.
By providing a range of support, including a home filled with furniture and access to healthy food options, the program helps victims of domestic violence reclaim their lives, rebuild their self-esteem, and live free from violence and fear.
