Enjoy great food, drinks, community, and connection — all while helping us provide essential furniture and household items to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness at Furnishing the Future 2026!

This annual event brings together passionate people committed to turning empty spaces into homes. We’ll share inspiring stories, highlight the impact of our work, and offer opportunities to get involved or give back.
