Recently joy filled The Green Chair Project. Thanks to the incredible work of Urban Ministries of Wake County, a mother and her beautiful children, who had previously faced homelessness, moved into a place of their very own! The next step was to help make their place a warm, welcoming home – and we were ready to help.     Many of our clients choose their home furnishings virtually, but those who visit us in person truly enjoy the chance to select from different styled groups of furniture that creates the perfect look and feel for their family.     As the mom sat at a table, picturing mealtime in their new home, she watched her daughter hosting a tea party and her son get comfortable on the couch. In that moment, she knew she had found the perfect furniture arrangement for her family. She expressed the joy and gratitude she felt for those in the community who helped make this possible.     We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who donates gently used furniture and household items. Your generosity enables us to continue supporting families in need in our community.    To donate, visit: https://lnkd.in/d4hmbZiy
