Central Furniture Rescue is a nonprofit organization RIGHT HERE in Cedar Rapids, ran 100% on volunteers from our community. They take donated unwanted furniture and household items. Then they provide them to clients referred to them who are transitioning from homelessness into a place to live. These people are furnished with all the items donated from you all. How. AMAZING.
