Provide beds for 300 kids sleeping on the floor

We would like to express our ongoing gratitude for your donation to Community Warehouse. Your support has been critical during a period of growth and transition for our organization and I am thrilled to inform you that your funds helped us provide furniture for over 1,554 children in the last year (a 21% increase from the previous year).


Current services
Post pandemic shut down, Community Warehouse has seen a 244% increase in demand for our services. In this time, we’ve increased the number of families served by 175%, but we are still seeing more demand than we can accommodate and we are at capacity. Inflation, the end of the Portland rent moratorium, climate events and refugee crises have led to further housing instability in the Portland metro area. We have responded in several ways to begin to meet that demand and have increased the number of families served weekly from 48 families per week in Q4 2022 to 70 families per week today.

In order to meet client demand, we are making furniture bank services more accessible in several ways:

1) We are opening a 3rd furniture bank in East Multnomah County, a location where 33% of our clients live.

2) We moved one of our locations from Tualatin to Tigard, a larger space that is more accessible to our Washington County Clients.

3) We have implemented virtual appointments to accomodate families with work conflicts or transporation challenges.

These changes are contributing to more families receiving the beds and other furniture they need.

"It's been a rough year, so I'm very
grateful for this. The donors giving
their furniture, all of you here -
everyone's been so gracious. You've
allowed me to generate some hope
and determination for next year
being a better year, and finding a
little more inner peace and inner
joy."
