HUGGS Inc. is organizing volunteers to support the Houston Furniture Bank warehouse and strengthen our community’s capacity to furnish and stabilize households affected by disasters across the Greater Houston area.
Houston Furniture Bank helps furnish homes for families rebuilding after homelessness, disaster, crisis, and other difficult circumstances. Right now, additional hands are urgently needed to help keep furniture moving through the warehouse and out to families.
Volunteer Duties
Volunteers may assist with:
- Moving and organizing furniture
- Loading and unloading donated items
- Preparing furniture for distribution
- Sorting and staging household goods
- Keeping warehouse areas organized and safe
- Assisting warehouse staff with other general support needs
Some assignments may involve lifting and physical activity.
Who Can Participate
Individuals, families, community groups, churches, civic organizations, student groups, and corporate teams are welcome.
Volunteer service hours and eligible community service hours may be completed during this event.
Participants needing verification of service hours should sign in and sign out so their hours can be properly documented.
Why Your Help Matters
Every couch moved, table staged, and bed prepared helps another household receive essential furniture faster.
When the warehouse is understaffed, furniture distribution slows down. A strong volunteer team can immediately increase the Furniture Bank's ability to serve families throughout the Greater Houston area.
Bring a friend, family member, coworker, or group and serve together.
What to Wear
Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for warehouse work.
