A Decade of Transforming Lives: New Life’s Annual Campaign to Furnish Homes for Families in Need

As New Life Furniture Bank of MA embarks on its tenth annual campaign drive, the nonprofit remains steadfast to its mission of providing furniture for families transitioning out of homelessness and to its belief that every individual, regardless of their circumstance, needs a table around which to gather, a light to illuminate bedtime stories, and a warm bed for a restful night’s sleep.

“The sustained success of New Life is a testament to the unwavering support from our generous donors and dedicated volunteers,” said Rich Purnell, Executive Director of New Life Furniture Bank. “Each client we serve contributes a unique story that not only touches our hearts but also fortifies our commitment to the cause.” 

Over its ten years of operation, New Life has gained a reputation across eastern Massachusetts as a reliable resource partner that provides those in need with quality, gently used home furnishings and personalized support from caring volunteers. During that time the organization has provided home furnishings to more than 5,140 households, 5,204 children, and 1,177 military veterans because of generous donations from residents and businesses in the surrounding communities. 

“Over the last 12 months there has been a massive increase in demand for New Life’s services. We fully expect that to continue into 2024. We hope you will join us in supporting families on their journey to turning empty spaces into homes,“ continued Purnell. “Your generosity makes a tangible difference; one that ripples through the lives of those we serve.”
