About this organization
Mission
We provide beds and home furniture to children and families in need.
About
FBSEM provides a needed service to the community through furniture for families - we 'furnish hope' to families that need essential household items. Families come to our warehouse to choose from gently used donated items. In 2018, we distributed dining tables, sofas and dressers to families in need. Beds - dignity and respect are difficult to achieve when you're sleeping on the floor. This especially holds true for children. We collect and distribute used mattresses and box springs each year. Last year, we distributed beds to children and adults who needed them. Cribs for Kids - infants are at risk of injury or death when they are sleeping with a parent. During the year, we distributed new pack and play cribs to local families at risk, insuring that more newborns/infants are sleeping safely at night.
