They recognized their desire to serve others in need, taking their combined skill sets to serve a new population in Amanda’s home state of Pennsylvania.In 2022, that’s when The Pennsylvania Furniture Mission was established. They recognize the large and overwhelming cost of purchasing furniture for a new home or apartment. Their services provide families and individuals experiencing financial barriers, the opportunity to receive free gently-used furniture, and avoid purchasing brand-new furniture at a high price tag. Time, money, and other resources can be utilized elsewhere in the household for basic needs if it is not spent on household furnishings.
