Living Spaces has supported the Veterans Furniture Center since 2017. Thanks to their generous support, hundreds of veterans who were sleeping on the floor now have a bed to sleep in. This addition to our inventory will add 193 formerly homeless and destitute veterans to the long list helped by Living Spaces and the VFC.
A special thanks to our volunteers, including Living Spaces and APS employees who helped unload the trucks in record time this morning.

We are making a Difference - You can Help

Used Furniture

The Veterans Furniture Center is no longer accepting any used furniture or household goods. We apologize for any inconvience this may cause, but we must focus on the needs of our formerly homeless veterans, who live in very small, one-three room apartments. Even the best quality donated items often were too big or unsuitable for their use, and much of what we received was unserviceable. We often had to pay to dispose of donated used items.  To make matters worse, we often didn't have all of the items the veteran needed, putting them at risk of becoming homeless again.

To give our transitioning veterans a hand up in their efforts to become functioning members of society we now deliver a complete kit of new furniture and household goods specifically tailored to meet their needs. (Click here to see the description of the kit.) We appreciate those who donated in the past and hope that you will understand that we must focus on our mission of assisting transitioning veterans so that they may lead a successful life and not return to the street.

We especially appreciate the support of Living Spaces who is providing brand new beds for all of our needy veterans.

Thank you for your understanding. Please consider supporting us as we strive to reduce, and eventually end, veteran homelessness.​
