Our Story

2010

The idea- 9 years ago my husband & I started a nonprofit called Make a Home Foundation (www.mahfct.org), helping homeless veterans and families in need. The idea was born from our love to go to tag sales and garage sales; we would ask everyone what they were doing with all the “left over items” after the tag sale was over and most of the time the answer was, they were going to the dump. We realized there were so many people that needed these things we decided to disperse them ourselves.
2013

We then saw an Oprah episode that talked about the female veterans that were sleeping in their cars and that our war heroes were coming home displaced and needing our help. We decided to begin focusing our attention on helping our heroes. Our men and women who had fought for our freedom were being neglected not having the basic necessities of life like dishes and a table to eat at or a bed to sleep on.

We were doing some very good work with the help of our communities and donations. As time went on, we spread our wings to helping anyone who needed help. Victims of domestic violence, women and children, and many more in need.

Working with many State and community agencies including DCF, DSS, DDS, New Opportunities, Catholic Charities, Columbus House just to name a few.
2015

Utilizing our warehouse in Waterbury, CT, which is where we held many of the tag sale items we collected, we were able to house all the donations, including the larger antique items. Some of the antique items needed a little sprucing up, which is where the idea to give items new life, instead of ending up in a landfill came from!

Typically, Make a Home Foundation Inc. does not take anything broken, stained or ripped, but will take items that may be dated or have scratches in the wood.

Make a Home Furnishings was cultivated from the need to do something with the items that were sitting in the warehouse and needed a fresh new look.

A portion of the proceeds go to help homeless veterans and families in need. What a concept!

We moved to our Warehouse with our sister Make a Home Foundation which we support and reinvented ourselves. We took over the abandoned dirty dilapidated third floor and created a beautiful showroom. In this historic factory building you can see the brick and wood over 100 years old combined with our furniture and furnishings that look elegant, rustic, farmhouse, mid-century modern and completely eclectic. We are bigger and better than ever!
