About

The Green Chair Project has been a crucial conduit between vulnerable Wake County families and vital housing resources since 2010. Our mission is to provide furniture and essential household items that make a meaningful difference in the lives of individuals and families overcoming hardship. From preparing furniture and packing home essentials to welcoming neighbors into our space, our volunteers work hard to help create safe, comfortable, and dignified homes. When you see our trucks on the road, you can trust we’re on the way to offer support to a neighbor in need. We hope you’ll join us in furnishing homes and changing lives. Today, Wake County, North Carolina, holds the second-highest county population growth nationally. Simultaneously, 95,200 residents live below the federal poverty line & cannot afford basic household furnishings. There is a cost to the coexistence of these statistics, and Green Chair’s mission is to ensure our community’s most vulnerable aren’t paying it. We support individuals overcoming homelessness, crisis, or disaster through a collaborative model that works with 100+ Wake County nonprofits & partner agencies.
