Recently, Jewish Vocational Service (JVS) entered into a partnership with Flourish: A Furniture Bank to provide much of the furniture and household items for the homes of the hundreds of refugees the organization welcomes.
JVS helps refugees resettle in the Kansas City area, providing support for basic needs, including healthcare and housing, as well as orientation, employment and educational opportunities. Flourish will help provide furnishings for the homes of local resettled refugees.
“Flourish is honored to be a part of opening the doors of Kansas City to refugee families from around the world who are making their new home in Kansas City through our partnership with JVS,” Flourish Executive Director Amy Cox said. “Flourish envisions a community where all of our neighbors live in a dignified, functionally furnished home. Through the collaboration between JVS and Flourish, we are bringing that vision to life.”
Flourish partners with dozens of social service agencies, providing furnishings for approximately 25 homes per week. More information about Flourish and its furniture donation process is available at flourishfurniturebank.org.
