L.I.F.F.E
We know that when parents don’t have to worry so much about how they will be able to purchase and provide essential items for their homes, they are able to focus on the more important matters in life; we offer year-round access to new and gently used furniture, as well as other essential household items.
187,720 furniture items delivered to neighbours that really needed them in 2013!
Adopt-A-Family
During the holiday season,the Adopt-A-Family program connects families and neighbours in a way that is truly unique. With a wish-list in hand, families bring gifts and other items right to the recipient family’s door, allowing neighbours to connect with neighbours, and bridges to form over barriers.
NeighbourLinkers adopted 116 families in December helping 530 individuals !
