Saving the Environment Goes Hand in Hand with Helping People Transition Out of Homelessness

Thanks to Westwood Environmental Action Committee for contributing this article to Westwood Minute.

Thinking about throwing away a piece of furniture during Westwood’s March Bulk Pickup collection by the DPW? Instead, you can give that item a second life by donating it to New Life Furniture Bank which provides gently used household furnishings to individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness.

Through a collaboration with the Westwood Environmental Action Committee, New Life Furniture Bank will be collecting the following items on Sunday, March 17:

● dressers

● desks

● dining tables

● dining chairs

● bookcases

● coffee tables

To sign up to have your item picked up by New Life Furniture Bank's truck on March 17, visit https://bit.ly/324bulk.

New Life Furniture Bank of MA is a volunteer-led nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that accepts furniture and household items and makes them available at no charge to those in need through referring agencies. New Life assists individuals and families who are transitioning out of homelessness, fire survivors, those escaping domestic violence, military veterans and refugees. Regardless of the situation they are striving to overcome, they share a common theme; the need for a new beginning. To learn more about New Life, visit www.newlifefb.org.
