Another special thanks to the City of Peoria, our Councilperson Bridget Binsbacher for the donation and continued support.

About the VFC
- The VFC is managed by an all-veteran volunteer Board of Directors.
- Our mission is to assist formerly homeless veterans transitioning to permanent housing under the VA's HUD-VASH program by providing them, free of charge, the new furniture and household goods they need to make their apartment a home and successfully transition back to society.
- We service the greater Phoenix, Az. area
- We rely on volunteers -- veterans, active duty military, and other supporters -- to deliver furniture, as well as to staff the office and warehouse. We have no paid employees.
- We deliver furniture to veterans every single week, fifty-two weeks a year.
- Since 2009 the VFC has assisted over 3,000 formerly homeless veterans.
- We are currently delivering furniture & household goods to over 300 veterans a year.
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.
Thank you for your understanding. Please consider supporting us as we strive to reduce, and eventually end, veteran homelessness.
