Furniture Bank Drive June 26
Let us recycle your gently used furniture!

 On Saturday, June 26, the Chattanooga Furniture Bank needs your help to recycle gently used furniture into an inviting home environment for those in need. The Furniture Bank will hold a used furniture drive from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at eight locations in the Greater Chattanooga Area.

The Furniture Bank has been very successful in the three months since its grand opening in March.  There are currently 50 people on a waiting list because inventory is running low. The Bank is especially short on kitchen furniture. Since January of 2010, the Furniture Bank has served more than 100 families and individuals in the Chattanooga area.

On Saturday, June 26, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., you can take your gently used furniture to one of eight drop off points around Hamilton County. If you don't have used furniture to donate, the Furniture Bank will also accept financial donations to help purchase much needed used furniture and other household items. All donations, financial or material, are tax deductible.

These are the 8 locations where you can drop off gently used furniture on Saturday, June 26, between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.:

• Hickory Valley – St. Michael’s Cathedral, 2330 Hickory Valley Road
• Hixson – Clear Creek Church of Christ, 5612 Hixson Pike
