About DALLAS FURNITURE BANK

Dallas Furniture Bank (DFB) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2003 that collects donated and gently used household furniture and distributes it through referral partner agencies to families and individuals moving out of homelessness or other crisis situations. The organization works with a network of partner social-service agencies and operates both direct distribution programs and a retail outlet/social-enterprise to support its mission. In recent years DFB has continued public operations while pursuing strategic partnerships and, as of 2025, announced a temporary hiatus while exploring a potential merger and participation in Lyda Hill Philanthropies' Better Together program to secure a sustainable path forward.
