ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. — Furnishing Hope, a non-profit organization based in Orange County, California, announces the launch of their November 2020 campaign, 50 Home in 50 Days, as a way to help 50 families find sanctuary before the end of the year.
Funded from a combination of in-kind donations from national brands, wholesale manufacturers and with the support of community volunteers. Furnishing Hope helps to provide a fresh start for California families with children and wounded veterans who are transitioning into independent living. Transforming empty spaces into peaceful and comfortable homes, the organization installs new furniture, mattresses, bedding, bathroom items and kitchenware, which lessens the burden caused by homelessness.

“Our philosophy is ‘nothing is more important than home,’ and we believe that having a place to feel safe and secure while looking after one’s health and wellbeing is of utmost importance,” said Beth Phillips, founder and executive director, Furnishing Hope. “For over 30 years, we have turned empty houses into homes with design and care, establishing a nurturing environment so that families can recover from loss, adjust to disabilities and regain independence, dignity and stability. We are empowering families and the communities they live in to stop the cycle of homelessness and give people the tools to build a brighter future.”
“Creating this initiative, 50 Home in 50 Days, actually started as an ambitious goal at the beginning of the year when we accomplished something we had never done before,” said Robyn Phillips, program director, Furnishing Hope. “Starting in April and finishing in June as the world literally came to a stop, we installed 75 homes in three months.”
Due to California’s shutdown for COVID-19, Furnishing Hope saw an opportunity to ramp up their installations and help even more families while there was less activity and traffic. The group adapted to coronavirus safety protocols and physical distancing, and outfitted the homes before families moved in.
“As we approach this holiday season, and have made it through one of the toughest years in our nation’s history, it’s truly heartwarming to know that with our efforts 50 more families will be sleeping in homes and finally feeling secure,” said Robyn. “That each of the families we help may have the opportunity to share a meal with their loved ones instead of being in a shelter or living on the streets brings an overwhelming joy.”
To donate in support of Furnishing Hope’s 50 Homes in 50 Days, drop off locations and local pickups are being scheduled for new furniture, lighting, mirrors, children’s items, toys, rugs and wall decor. For an appointment to donate call their FH Home retail store at 949-524-5937.
