Gather blankets, sheets, and pillows, build some forts for fun, and then donate what you don't need to give people in need a good night's sleep!
Gather blankets, pillows, and sheets in new or very gently used condition (no stains, holes, damage, smells, or excessive wear and tear.) Build the blanket fort of your dreams or have different groups compete to build the biggest, comfiest, most elaborate, most structurally sound, etc. fort of them all. After you are done, give everything a quick wash and bring the parts and pieces you don't need or want to store to donate to Community Warehouse. We will give them to folks recovering from adversity so that they can get cozy and maybe even build the fort of the their dreams in their new home. Great for kids/families and for grown ups too!

Community Warehouse is your friendly local furniture bank, serving the Portland area for the past 20 years. How does a furniture bank work? We collect donated home goods and work with social service agencies to get those goods in the hands of those who need it most. At Community Warehouse, it’s the simple stuff – the extra dishes, towels, beds, and tables – that transforms homes and lives.
