Furniture Repair Bank Volunteering
Furniture Repair Bank is on a mission of keeping furniture in circulation for the benefit of all members of our community. We are building a community of mighty, courageous, and empathetic individuals to rescue furniture destined for landfills and provide support to refugees and low-income families and individuals.
Join 9Zero at the Repair Bank for a group volunteer event to restore furniture that was headed for the landfill. No skills are required to join, but you will learn some while you're there!
Onboarding
We will take you through the safety instructions and an overview of our collective impacts.
Group Formation
Depending on the size of the group and their interests, we will divide into groups of 5-8 to be introduced to a particular part of the restoration process.
The Fun Bit
Tools, PPE, guidance, and techniques will be provided. Possible tasks may include: Sanding, paint stripping, painting/staining, disassembly or fabric removal, seat upholstery/stapling.
We pick the soundtrack for the day and have fun. We also have snacks!
The Finale
We’ll talk about everyone’s cumulative experiences and snap a picture to remember a day well spent.
