From Shelter to Stability
Furniture and Household Essentials Drive for Chesterfield Square Fire Victims
The CARITAS Furniture Bank is Virginia’s only furniture bank and provides furniture assistance to over 350 households per year through partnerships with 31 non-profit agencies.
Through a partnership between the American Red Cross and CARITAS, donations of household essentials are being accepted for the Chesterfield Square fire victims and others in need. There were 175 people living in the building, of whom an estimated 100 people will need furniture assistance after a fire swept through the government subsidized senior community last week. Donations will be accepted at collection sites throughout the city and at the CARITAS Furniture Bank. All donations are tax deductable.
A pod will be placed at each of the following locations by Thursday 12/17 through the New Year. Please donate your new and gently used furniture and household essentials:
