The Vancouver location is situated at 13503 SE Mill Plain Blvd, Suite #114[1][3]. - Hope Furnishings: This is a thrift furniture store associated with NW Furniture Bank, offering new mattresses, accessories, and both new and used furniture. Every $100 spent at Hope Furnishings supports the furniture bank by funding the purchase of essential items like mattresses[1]. - Furniture Assistance Program: This program operates on a referral basis through local agencies. Families work with caseworkers to request furniture, and then they are scheduled for a shopping appointment to select needed items from the inventory[1]. - Donations and Volunteers: The organization relies on donations from the public, businesses, schools, and restaurants. Volunteers play a crucial role in helping to restore and distribute furniture[1]. ### Contact Information: - Phone: 253-302-3868 (main), 360-787-7143 (Vancouver) - Email: info@nwfurniturebank.org (main), vaninfo@nwfurniturebank.org (Vancouver)[3]
