Area organizations like the Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit — a nonprofit that provides furniture and mattresses to families in need throughout Oakland, Wayne and Macomb counties — are essential to local communities. On Sept. 4, people can bid on refurbished pieces from the recent Furniture Flip Challenge to support a good cause.

“Furniture is so much more than comfort,” says Diane Charles, president and CEO. “It provides dignity, stability and a fresh start.

Michigan’s furniture flippers are turning items that would have gone to a landfill into lifelines for those rebuilding their lives.”
