HOW WE CAN HELP
Who we help
- Persons fleeing domestic violence
- Persons coming out of homelessness
- Persons living with incomes at or below the federal poverty guidelines.
For families to receive service
A family must be a current client of an approved local organization, ministry, or church. As a client of an approved social service organization, they should discuss their need with their caseworker and request a referral. If qualified, their caseworker will fax a referral to RF4F (only faxed referrals are accepted).
Upon referral, the family’s case worker will give them a Client Agreement and information regarding what to expect from RF4F. In most cases, it takes 24-48 hours to process and approve the referral. If a referred client has not heard back from us within 48 hours, they should contact their referring caseworker.
Once a referral is approved, RF4F contacts the family and schedules an appointment to select furniture for their home. Because we operate on a referral basis only, walk-ins are not accepted. Additionally, RF4F does not sell donated items to the general public.
Cooperating Agencies
At this time, RF4F has cooperating agreements and thus only accepts referrals from the organizations listed below. The publication of this list is for informational purposes only and in no means a recommendation by RFF to any of the organizations listed. Families in need should seek out the appropriate service that works with their area of need in order to become a client of that service.
