The Green Chair Project

The Green Chair Project reuses essential furnishings donated by our community to help neighbors in need facing the challenges of homelessness, crisis or disaster. Lives change when families and individuals are nurtured and sustained in well-equipped homes.

We partner with more than 120 local nonprofits, government agencies, schools, and other organizations to provide home furnishings for Raleigh residents who fall below 60% of area median income (AMI) and are exiting homelessness, disaster, or crisis. Since March 2020, we’ve been helping low-income Raleigh residents prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, residents have been encouraged to remain at home to limit the spread of COVID-19. The furnishings that Green Chair provides ensures homes are stable and healthy spaces for people to retreat, quarantine, or heal. We work to ensure our clients reside in stable, well-equipped households that nurture basic needs and mitigate poverty effects on children and their families especially during a time of crisis like COVID-19.  

Since 2012, over 5,000 children have received beds or cribs through the Sweeter Dreams program. Our Sweeter Dreams program provides cribs and twin beds to children from birth through school-aged at no charge, plus pillows and bedding for each bed.
