Funder Overview

---

 For many families exiting homelessness, receiving housing does not mean the home is ready to live in. Families often move into empty spaces without beds, furniture, kitchen items, bathroom essentials, or the basic household goods needed to create routine and stability. 

 Picking Up The Pieces bridges the gap between housing and home. We collect quality donated furniture and household items, coordinate volunteer-supported home transformations, and design each space to support dignity, safety, comfort, and long-term housing stability. 

 We serve individuals and families transitioning from homelessness, domestic violence, crisis, or housing instability into permanent or more stable housing. Many are referred through trusted community partners and are rebuilding with limited resources. 

 Our model combines practical household support with trauma-informed, dignity-centered design. By reducing the cost of furnishing a home and creating spaces that support rest, routine, and belonging, we help families strengthen their foundation for long-term stability. 

 Funding helps us serve families with consistency, dignity, and care while strengthening the systems needed to grow responsibly. 

 As of 05/12/2026, Picking Up The Pieces has helped furnish 16 homes, served 53 individuals, supported 37 children, provided 46 new beds, and redirected more than $40,000 in in-kind furniture and household goods into homes with purpose. 

 Funding priorities include household essentials, new beds, transportation and delivery support, volunteer coordination, program operations, inventory organization, intake support, and impact tracking. 

 We welcome partnerships with foundations, corporations, civic partners, and community investors who are committed to housing stability, family well-being, and practical solutions that help families remain housed.
