Baltimore Furniture Bank in Action!
about us
our Vision
At the Baltimore Furniture Bank, we envision a community where everyone has a place to call home. By providing essential furniture and household goods, we foster dignity, comfort, and belonging for those we serve.
our mission
We are a nonprofit project of Uplift Alliance, Inc., dedicated to transforming the lives of individuals and families facing difficult circumstances. Through close collaboration with other community organizations, our partners, we focus on providing furniture and household goods to families and individuals existing homelessness due to poverty, domestic violence, fire, eviction, immigration and other personal crises
Our History
Founded in 2017, working out of a one-car garage, Baltimore Furniture Bank has grown exponentially and now resides in a 12,500 foot warehouse in the Woodberry neighborhood.
Our Team
Our team is made up of dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the world. From our volunteers to our warehouse crew and our board members, everyone at Baltimore Furniture Bank is committed to our mission and the families we serve.
our Community impact
- Since inception in 2017, we have served 1,351 families and over 4,000 individuals. In fiscal year 2025, we served approximately 1,000 individuals and 253 families. The need for our support services is overwhelming especially in this time when inflation, rising housing costs, and shrinking federal reimbursements make our work more vital than ever.
- Our client population includes: families and individuals exiting chronic or temporary homelessness, survivors of domestic violence or abuse, refugees and immigrants, veterans, seniors, disabled and chronically ill individuals, and other low-income households affected by economic inequities.
- BFB serves as a pillar in the Baltimore community by advancing economic equity through local hiring, creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals from underserved communities, including immigrants and refugees, and providing staff with a livable wage that supports long-term stability.
our environmental impact
We collected and diverted over 35 tons of furniture, mattresses and household goods thus saving them from Baltimore City's landfills. Every item we reuse prevents waste and supports families on their journey toward stability.
