A fun and community-building experience to support participants in turning their houses into homes. Participants who have signed up for MFH will get the opportunity to attend a group “shopping day” where they will each be paired with a team of volunteers to go through our Distribution Center warehouse and select furnishings and other items for their homes. Volunteers will handle the moving and transportation of items to the participants home and join in celebrating the opportunity to transform each paticipant’s space to feel like home.
