Linen Drive Flyer Small.jpgImagine that you had a place to live but you couldn’t afford furniture to sit and eat on, beds to sleep on and basic kitchen utensils and appliance to prepare food with? Many families in Alabama go are living this way.

And what if you where getting your life back together and the only way you can rent an apartment and get your family back together would be to furnish it? What if you had no means? That is what the Community Furniture Bank is doing for families across north central Alabama.

On Saturday, March 7 from 9-12, ReSolutions LLC is hosting a Linens & Towels Drive to help the Community Furniture Bank fulfill their mission. The drop off location is at the corner of Oxmoor Road and Dale Street in Homewood. This is in the parking lot of Trinity United Methodist Church.

Do you have old sheets and towels from your parents’ house, from a no-longer-used guest room or some that no longer match your decor but you just can’t seem to throw them out? Bring those clean, used towels and linens and donate them to help families set up new homes. You will be helping others and you will be recycling.

About the Community Furniture Bank

Many families in Alabama are currently living with no furniture or other basic household items. They sleep on bare floors, and eat there too. Without pots and pans and basic kitchen utensils, they have no means of food preparation. The Community Furniture Bank, with your donations, can help.

The Community Furniture Bank is a non-profit organization that specializes in the pickup, storage, and delivery of donated furniture, appliances, and other household goods. Donated items are transferred directly into the homes of those in need, as opposed to being sold in the open market.
